Title:
|
Use of Wound-Protection System and Postoperative Wound-Infection Rates in Open Appendectomy

|
|
|
Excerpt:
|
"Our data support the use of a wound-protection device in open surgery as a method of decreasing postoperative wound-infection rates. This technique could be applied to a broader spectrum of open surgical procedures and ultimately reduce the economic and emotional burden of a preventable SSI."

|
|
Excerpt:
|
“We found that the wound retractor/protector prevented the incision site from drying, decreased tissue damage, and facilitated the migration of neutrophils, suggesting a preventive effect of the device with respect to wound infection."
"The studied wound retractor/protector effectively protects wound tissue from damage due to environmental factors experienced during surgery.”

|
Excerpt:
|
“We found the operating time and the time to return of bowel function to be shorter, and the rates of uterine atony, wound infection, and request for additional postoperative analgesics to be lower, among patients who underwent uterine repair in situ rather than extra-abdominally.”

The Alexis O c-section retractor provides 360 degrees of circumferential
atraumatic retraction and protection during cesarean section.
By offering hands-free retraction, the Alexis O c-section retractor
helps facilitate the procedure while maximizing efficiency and potentially
reducing OR time.
The unique design of the Alexis O c-section retractor helps capture
abdominal wall bleeding, providing a clean operative field.
Easy setup of the Alexis O c-section retractor allows for rapid and
effortless placement and removal of the device. It is available in
two sizes to accommodate varying anatomies.
