BandGrip Introduces New Wound Closure Solution to Emergency Physicians at AAEM19
Providing emergency physicians with a faster, easier, and non-invasive way to safely close wounds, BandGrip will be on display at Booth #220.
CHICAGO, March 5, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Emergency rooms operate 24 hours a day, 365 days per year—and studies show they're busier than ever. According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), the average emergency department wait time is about 30 minutes, with treatment time clocking in at about 90 minutes. That's roughly two hours in the ER.
One factor taking up valuable physician time remains wound closure. From traditional sutures and staples to tapes, and glues, they take valuable time to apply, and when wound closure is performed in a hurry, it can lead to needle stick injury, scarring, infection, and even wound dehiscence.
"The idea of piercing the skin or making additional lacerations around incisions is barbaric," says Fred Smith, CEO of BandGrip, Inc. "We have come forward with an outstanding innovation to eliminate complexities in wound closure."
The innovation is BandGrip, a fast, easy, and non-invasive skin closure device that uses patented micro-anchors to close wounds, allowing the body to heal naturally. It reduces the time emergency physicians spend closing wounds, which reduces patient wait time, improves safety, and saves lives.
Emergency room physicians can now experience BandGrip for themselves at the 25th Annual Scientific Assembly of the American Academy of Emergency Medicine (AAEM). AAEM19 is being held at Caesars Palace on March 9-13.
Pre-conference activities begin on Saturday, March 9 and the morning of Sunday, March 10. The Scientific Assembly then kicks off with Opening Remarks the afternoon of Sunday, March 10 and concludes on Wednesday, March 13, 2019. During the event's exhibition times, BandGrip, Inc. can be found at Booth #220.
