The adhesive suture retention device is a single use, disposable, sterile surgical device to be used with non-absorbable sutures. There are two strips per package. One or more strip(s) is/are to be used on each side of wound in order to retain percutaneous non-absorbable sutures.
Simulated skin protected by an ARS Device can withstand over 200% more retention suture tension prior to failure than unprotected simulated skin.
The ARS can be retained for up to two weeks to provide postoperative protection from skin tearing with zero skin over-growth.
The ARS bolsters skin strength to enable use of a retention suture under high tension without skin ripping, enabling linear closure of the wound.
Rips at 8N
Rip at 15N
Does not rip, 0 Nylon Breaks
Cleanse and degrease skin as per IFU.
Place Adhesive Retention Suture Device with holes facing toward wound.
Place full thickness suture through reinforced holes of Adhesive Retention Suture Device.
Place additional wound closures supports (e.g. sutures, staples).
Making wound closure easier for surgeons and better for patients.
