INTEGUSEAL* Microbial Sealant: an Essential Tool in the Fight Against Surgical Site
Infections |
 |
|
Prepping and draping are important parts of your pre-op routine, but no prep protocol
can completely sterilize a patient’s skin. It’s the pathogens left behind that are
the leading cause of surgical site infections. And those are the pathogens that
InteguSeal* is designed to handle.
InteguSeal* Microbial Sealant is proven to seal and immobilize the bacteria that
survive prep, including MRSA, S. epidermidis and E. coli—preventing them from contaminating
the surgical incision.

“We found that InteguSeal does a couple of important things : It keeps the
drapes from drifting and by doing so actually stops peri-incisional bacterial colonies
from migrating into the wound .”

“The risk of SSI, amongst other complications, is strongly associated with
deep wound infection in joint surgery. The implications to the patient and their
families, the medical centers, and the surgeons …are immense ”

“In orthopedics, once you’re into the joint, if you get an infection,
that can be an absolute disaster. That’s why I consider InteguSeal* an integral
part of what I do in the operating room to help prevent infection.”

“We found that as little as 100 bacteria could cause periprosthetic infection
in the presence of an implant.”

“I’ve used (InteguSeal*) for the last couple of years and the issue
of drape migration has become non-existent.”

“Making sure the odds of introduction of infection are minimized is very,
very important.”

“There’s no migration, everything’s dry, everything’s tight.
It works beautifully.”

“In today’s cutting-edge surgery, with the complex procedures that we
perform, I think it’s probably the best way to stop intra-operative migration.”
