Steri-Strip S Surgical Skin Closure. This noninvasive, adhesive-based wound closure device is designed to treat low-tension lacerations and surgical incisions painlessly and without the use of needles. Because it is a topical device, the Steri-Strip S Surgical Skin Closure helps limit tissue trauma, has less potential for infection than traditional sutures and staples, offers added comfort for patients, and is faster and easier to apply than sutures.

 

The Steri-Strip S Surgical Skin Closure is constructed of soft polyurethane pads and interlaced polyester filaments. It can be worn for as long as 7 to 10 days, during which time patients may take brief showers without any additional wound covering. The device is available in assorted sizes to accommodate various wounds.

Swede-O, Inc

Swede-O Step-Smart. This off-the-shelf drop foot brace is designed with a joint that absorbs shock at heel strike and then pushes the foot into gentle dorsiflexion. The brace uses proper dynamics to mimic natural foot and ankle movements and can be adjusted to match individual shock absorption requirements, as well as the foot/calf angle.

ConvaTec

Little Ones. This is a pediatric line of ostomy products, designed specifically for infants and children. The products have thinner landing zones, welded edges for added comfort against an infant's delicate skin, and smaller sizes to accommodate smaller weights.

 

The new Little Ones pouches are lined with colorful, Koala-themed fabric panels to increase comfort. The products use the Stomahesive skin, hydrocolloid technology, and ConvaTec's patent-pending InvisiClosure outlet, which allows for easier drainage and a softer closure.
