HEMIGARD® Skin Closure System

Offload tension. Improve outcomes.

HEMIGARD^® Adhesive Suture Retention Device (ASRD)

HEMIGARD^® Adhesive Retention Suture Device (ASRD) has zones of differing stiffness to offload stress from a standard nylon suture and supports a wound closure for up to two weeks postoperatively.

How it Works

How to use the HEMIGARD® Adhesive Suture Retention Device (ASRD)

To clean and dry skin, adhere one ASRD on each side of wound with holes facing wound and 10mm between the wound edge and the ASRD. Suture through the holes of ASRD and full thickness skin using 2-0 nylon. Finish closure and protect ASRD postoperatively. Allow ASRD to support the wound closure postoperatively.

HEMIGARD^® ASRD
Clinical Benefits

End Zone Prevents Blistering

The trailing zone of HEMIGARD^® devices stretch under low tension, thus reducing shear force in high tension closures. HEMIGARD^® ASRD can support high tension closures: up to 10 pounds of force!

Reduced Wound Dehiscence

In three separate clinical studies, the use of HEMIGARD^® ASRD was found to have 80% reduction of wound dehiscence versus standard layered closure.

Improved Perfusion Versus Sutures Alone

Sutures and staples create zones of low perfusion at the wound edge. Use of HEMIGARD^® ASRD creates a healthier wound edge with 25% better perfusion than with standard sutures.

HEMIGARD^® Interlock
How it Works

To clean and dry skin, adhere loop piece with loops facing the wound and adhere hook piece (strap) on other side of wound so that strap is partially overlying skin. Pull strap to manually offload tension from wound edge and interlock the hooks of the strap onto the loops. Allow Interlock to support the wound postoperatively.

The trailing zone of HEMIGARD^® devices stretch under low tension, thus reducing shear force in high tension closures. HEMIGARD^® Interlock can support medium tension closures: up to 5 pounds of force!

Punctureless

Uses a strong and easily adjustable hook & loop mechanism to close and support wounds.

Save Time

The use of HEMIGARD^® Interlock was found to have $93 to $159 of operative time savings compared to standard suturing.
