SutureSafe®
What it Does
SutureSafe® wound stabilizer
Static Strips = Pain and grief
SutureSafe = Tension relief
SutureSafe® is a non-invasive, adhesive-based device designed to prevent dehiscence and relieve tension on primarily closed wounds and incisions.
Unlike regular strips that have no elastomeric segment, SutureSafe® is designed to apply a gentle elastic force providing support to the wound. SutureSafe® bridges the incision line and draws the tensioned wound margins together placing them in compression. This isolates the wound relieving dehiscive forces and allowing the patient to move without sharp pain. The results are instant and dramatic.
When it is Used
SutureSafe® is indicated whenever a surgical wound is closed under high tension, is at risk of dehiscing due to infection, is located on or near a joint, and anytime a patient's mobility is being limited by incisional pain.
Why it is Used
Benefits
- Dynamically stabilizes a primarily closed wound
- Removes tension from incision for tension-free healing
- Prevents wound dehiscence
Features
- Reduces pain and increases mobility
- Allows low tension healing for reduced scarring
- Provides a clear view of the wound
- Improves cosmetic appearance
How it works:
SutureSafe® is designed to flex with body movement. A limiter film above the tension-relieving elastomer protects against any direct tension on the suture line caused by sneezing, coughing or other sudden movements. The clear elastomer and clear limiter allow excellent wound visibility. With no adhesive directly on the suture line, removal is pain free.
