This Solution Helps Fight SSIs
Fight SSIs with the Bactisure Wound Lavage from Zimmer
Biomet. This aqueous solution breaks down the biofilm that
some bacteria form as a protective layer, making the biofilm
easy to remove with pulsed lavage. Without their protective
layer, bacteria are more susceptible to antibiotics and the
immune system. For use with Zimmer Biomet Pulsavac Plus or
similar pulsed lavage system on all wound types. Available in
sterile 1000 mL polypropylene plastic bags with an integrated
single spike port and with Pulsavac Plus kits.

This Wound Closure Device May Make Sutures
Obsolete
Close skin wounds quickly and safely and achieve better
cosmesis with the Zip surgical skin closure from ZipLine. After
you apply deep, tension-reducing suture layers if necessary,
use Zip instead of sutures, staples or glue. It's three times
faster than using sutures. It allows you to easily control tension
and alignment. There are no "railroad track" skin punctures as
with sutures, and so no new potential pathways for infection.
Zip is incredibly strong. Scarring is minimal, and removal is as
atraumatic as peeling off a bandage. Flexible design supports
greater range of motion during recovery. Choose from several
different lengths.

This Novel Device Closes Wounds Easily
And Efficiently
When confronted with difficult wounds, reach for the
DermaClose continuous external tissue expander from Synovis
MCA, a subsidiary of Baxter International. It gently and rapidly
expands the skin on the subcutaneous planes around a wound.
Once set, DermaClose automatically maintains the proper
amount of tension. No need for readjusting or tightening. When
edges are brought close enough together — typically 3-7 days
— perform final suturing and closure. For larger wounds, just
add more devices. Use DermaClose as an effective alternative
or adjunct to split thickness skin grafts and negative pressure
wound therapy.
