SUTUREGARD^® ISR
Clinical Benefits

Less Undermining

Skin relaxation is twice as effective as wide undermining with fewer complications, and saves time and improves patient outcomes.

Citation: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11373562

Fast and Easy-To-Use

Wound tension is reduced by 65% within 15-30 minutes of SUTUREGARD^® ISR use (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1751616119302334).

Less Damaging

The SUTUREGARD® ISR is gentle on the skin. Pulley sutures and towel clamps are "all-or-none" procedures that crush the skin.

Less Dog Ear Removal

Circular (1:1 length-to-width ratio) defects become elliptical (approximately 2:1) after 30 minutes of stretch which saves surgical time and shortens scars.

Fewer Skin Flaps and Skin Grafts

Skin flaps and skin grafts require additional wounds, and when performed on the scalp, disrupt the natural hairline.

Surgeons using the SUTUREGARD^® ISR Retention Suture Device for scalp repairs have decreased their rate of scalp flaps or grafts by 95%.

Clinical Benefits
