New eBook Details How Wound Closure Advancements Help Trauma Surgeons Save More Lives
BandGrip, Inc. - the wound-closure application device developer - launches a new eBook, Stop the Bleeding: Wound Closure Techniques for Trauma Surgeons, which notes the pros and cons of traditional and advanced wound closure techniques.
CHICAGO, June 24, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Emergency physicians are taking notice to how this innovation is positively impacting patient care.
Traumatic injury accounts for nearly 60% of all deaths among Americans between the ages of 1 and 45, making it the leading cause of death in the first half of life. To mitigate death from traumatic injury, numerous advancements in wound closure technology have been developed to help surgeons and first responders save lives.
Many of these advancements focus on controlling blood loss and stabilizing patients within the "golden hour," the window of time following a traumatic injury in which prompt medical and surgical treatment is likely to prevent death.
One factor compromising the golden hour by taking up valuable surgeon time is wound closure. Traditional sutures, staples, tapes, and glues, and even more advanced methods such as zippers and clips, can be time-consuming, requiring multiple steps and multiple sets of hands. Plus, not all will work on every part of a victim's body.
But BandGrip's innovation is changing the treatment process. It the eBook, the company highlights its non-invasive bandage that uses patented micro-anchors to close wounds, allowing the body to heal naturally, and reveals these BandGrip benefits:
It can be applied quickly, saving valuable time in emergency surgeries or situations. It can be applied by any healthcare professional, leaving surgeons free to move on to more urgent cases or surgeries. It can be used to treat minor wounds or tiled for larger wounds. It is ideal for situations involving high-volumes of injury, such as a natural disaster, terrorist attack, military combat zones, or a multi-car accident scene. Following surgery, it delivers better cosmetic results, supports better ambulation, and doesn't require a return visit for removal.
