Healing begins with a secure closure.
Findings Prove Time Savings for Surgeons, Strengthen Hope in Wound Infection Reduction for Orthopedic Patients
New research published in the February issue of Journal of Wound Care (JWC) concludes the unique micro-anchor skin closure device known as BandGrip is more than five times faster in closing
orthopedic incisions compared to traditional sutures. Surgeons have long believed infections can be associated with longer wound closure and overall recovery times. The time-savings finding in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR), simple arthroscopy and general incisions could result in surgeons seeing fewer wound infections following surgery.
Our patented Micro-Anchor technology holds surgical incisions and laceration edges closed without needles or staples, reducing concerns of negative cosmetic outcomes and the risks associated with needle sticks.
Designed for convenience, BandGrip can be readily applied by doctors, surgical assistants, and a wide range of health care professionals.
Applied in less than 30 seconds, BandGrip does not require a return visit for removal, making it a timesaving and cost-effective solution for wound closure.
BandGrip Micro-Anchor Skin Closures can improve patient experience both in recovery and at home on their own. The familiar look and feel can bring a sense of normalcy and confidence through the healing process.
Unlike the raised surfaces of staples and zippers, and the “whiskers” associated with sutures, the smooth surface of BandGrip Micro-Anchor Skin Closures doesn’t catch on dressings or clothing. Patients can shower with them on after just 24 hours.
Our patented, minimally invasive BandGrip Micro-Anchor Skin Closures gently and securely grip the skin to close the wound edges during the critical healing period. By design, common problems associated with conventional closure materials are potentially avoided.
An ideal solution for surgery, BandGrip can be used for faster, more efficient closures that leave patients focused on the quality of the surgeon’s work rather than the size of their scar.
Easy to apply, BandGrip eliminates the risk of needle sticks and in some cases, can be removed by the patient, eliminating the need for costly and inconvenient follow-up appointments.
