HEMIGARD^® ARS Clinical Cases

The HEMIGARD® ARS Device allowed a high tension retention suture to close a facial wound under high tension in a patient on anticoagulants. Once closed with the HEMIGARD® ARS, the wound needed only delicate dermal sutures and GluSeal® acrylate glue. We avoided procedures like wide undermining and local flaps that increase postoperative risks.

Two HEMIGARD® ARS devices and and 2-0 nylon retention sutures used to close this very tight ankle surgical wound. HEMIGARD® ARS can support the wound through early healing to prevent wound dehiscence, which can occur in up to 10% of leg wounds.

HEMIGARD® ARS device and 3-0 nylon retention suture used to close surgical arm wound under tension in very fragile skin without ripping.

HEMIGARD® ARS strips and 0 nylon retention suture to close this surgical wound under high tension and avoid a large facial flap or graft.

HEMIGARD® ARS device and 0 nylon retention suture used to close this lower leg wound under high tension in very fragile skin and support it postoperatively to prevent dehiscence.

HEMIGARD® ARS device and 2-0 nylon retention suture was used to bolster the skin and close this dorsal hand surgical wound. A wound like this usually requires a skin graft, which was avoided here.
