SUTUREGARD® ASRD
Reduced Wound Dehiscence

The SUTUREGARD Adhesive Suture Retention Device (ASRD) is transforming surgical wound management, offering superior performance in high-tension wounds and expected post-surgical edema. The ASRD ensures optimal wound healing and minimizes complications, setting a new standard in surgical care. In three separate clinical studies, the use of SUTUREGARD® ASRD was found to have 80% reduction of wound dehiscence versus standard layered closure.

Intra-op Benefits

  • Fast, easy, and low risk application
  • Tension offloading ensures precise skin edge approximation
  • Decreases the necessity for delayed closures or skin flaps/grafts

Post-op Benefits

  • Disperses tension on the wound, safeguarding primary closure
  • Preserves blood flow to skin edges for adequate oxygen and nutrient supply
  • Alleviates stress on the wound closure due to swelling
  • Reduces blistering by adapting to skin movement and tension

Surgeon Testimonials

The ASRD is revolutionizing difficult incisional closures on any extremity.

- Mark Myserson, MD, Past President of the AOFAS

For complex wound closures like amputations or rotational flaps, for me ASRD is mandatory. Combining barbed suture running sub-cuticular closure augmented with ASRD to reduce the pressure along the incision line, I have been able to prevent lower leg dehiscence in most of my cases.

- Patrick DeHeer, DPM

I make sure the ASRD is in my OR. With it, I have prevented dehiscence of amputation sites, and I use it on high-risk incisions and incisions spanning joints as "suspenders" on my suturing.

- Danielle Butto, DPM

The ASRD is an "insurance plan" for my incisions. I can allow earlier ROM and weightbearing while removing stitches/staples in 2-3 weeks and the ASRD in 4-5 weeks.

- Arun Karwal, DPM

ASRD will be the biggest game changer in my 25 years as Medical Director of the wound center.

- Steven Silverman M.D. (Board Certified Vascular and General Surgery)
