Procedure

The Spine Scorpion™ suture passer is ideal for closing the fascia up to 75% faster at the end of minimally invasive spine procedures.1 Its low-profile design eases access for approaches through tubular or mini open incisions. The suture passer automatically passes and retrieves multiple types of commonly used sutures, such as 0 and 2-0 absorbable suture.

Spine Scorpion™ Suture Passer for Spinal Fascia Closure

Orthobiologics

This video demonstrates how the Spine Scorpion™ suture passer is used to close the fascia at the end of spine surgery performed through an open, mini-open, or MIS approach. This video was designed in conjunction with Michael Gallizzi, MD.

JumpStart antimicrobial wound dressing is an advanced microcurrent-generating dressing for the management of surgical incision sites. Microcell batteries made of elemental silver and zinc generate an electrical current when activated by conductive fluids, such as wound exudate, water-based wound hydrogels, saline, or water. These microcell batteries create microcurrents to support the body's natural electrical healing process and provide antimicrobial protection to assist with wound healing. JumpStart antimicrobial wound dressing has demonstrated broad-spectrum bactericidal activity against antibiotic-resistant strains of wound isolates within 24 hours.1-3

JumpStart® FlexEFit™ antibacterial wound dressing employs a novel “link and build” design, enabling it to be “built” during application to seamlessly cover incisions of virtually any length or curvature with just one product configuration. JumpStart dressings can be applied directly over sutures, staples, Steri-Strip™ wound closures, and liquid skin adhesives. The dot-matrix pattern of embedded microcell batteries generates microcurrents on the dressing surface in the presence of a conductive medium such as sterile saline, water-based gel, or wound exudate.&nbsp;
