Features and Benefits:
The DERMABOND Portfolio offers a range of topical skin adhesives (TSAs) and skin closure systems that deliver strong, flexible, skin closure with waterproof, microbial barrier protection.
With self-anchoring technology and significantly more points of fixation than traditional sutures, STRATAFIX gives surgeons more consistent control over every pass and combines the strength and security of interrupted closure with the efficiency of continuous closure. STRATAFIX provides self-anchoring technology with no knot-related complications.
Plus Antibacterial sutures have been shown in vitro to inhibit colonization of the suture for 7 days or more, and have demonstrated a 28% reduction in SSI risk. § ||
