Revolutionizing abdominal wall closure
Revolutionizing suturing with SutureTOOLTM
The Suturion device aims to speed up abdominal wall closure and help surgeons follow the small bites technique (4:1 ratio)*.
Addressing the clinical challenge in abdominal wall closure
Each year, approximately 30 million laparotomies are performed worldwide, with one in three patients facing complications.1,2 The technique used for abdominal wall closure plays a critical role in the healing of fascia and can significantly influence patient outcomes. Common complications such as surgical site infections, burst abdomen, and incisional hernia not only diminish patients' quality of life but also lead to deviating treatment pathway and increased healthcare costs.3-5
Understanding these clinical challenges is essential for improving surgical practices and patient care.
Small-bites technique for enhanced abdominal wall closure
The small-bites technique is a transformative method for abdominal wall closure following laparotomy, significantly reducing the risk of complications like surgical site infections and incisional hernia.1-3 Supported by guidelines from European Hernia Society, American Hernia Society, and World Society of Emergency Surgery, this evidence-based technique has been proven to enhance recovery outcomes.4-6 However, only 24% of surgeons fully adhere to it.7
