What you should know:
1. OrthoIndy is using BandGrip’s Micro-Anchor Skin Closures to close patient incisions.
2. The skin closures prevent the incision area from becoming inflamed from long-term use; are transparent to accommodate direct incision monitoring; are more adherent than some wound strips; can be removed by patients; and leave no residual marks from sutures or staples, according to OrthoIndy surgeon Jack Farr, MD.
3. BandGrip created its skin closures to improve the healing experience.
BandGrip CEO Fred Smith said, “This advanced bandage not only is easier to use compared to old wound closure products, but also it strengthens the physician-patient relationship as BandGrip is removed and the cosmetically superior incision is seen for the first time.”
