The HEMIGARD® 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 a HEMIGARD® ARS Device can withstand over 200% more retention suture tension prior to failure than unprotected simulated skin.
The HEMIGARD® ARS can be retained for up to two weeks to provide postoperative protection from skin tearing with zero skin over-growth.
The HEMIGARD® 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 HEMIGARD® Adhesive Retention Suture Device with holes facing toward wound.
Place full thickness suture through reinforced holes of HEMIGARD® Adhesive Retention Suture Device.
Place additional wound closures supports (e.g. sutures, staples).
Making wound closure easier for surgeons and better for patients.
