Incisive Surgical Announces Breakthrough Peer Review Clinical Study - PR Newswire - sacbee.com
/PRNewswire/ -- Incisive Surgical, Inc. today announced a peer-reviewed publication of a profound clinical study. The study, titled %22Skin Closure With Subcuticular Absorbable Staples After Cesarean Section Is Associated With Decreased Analgesic Use,%22 was published online by the Archives of Gynecology & Obstetrics Journal in October 2011. The authors, Drs. Joshua Nitsche (Mayo Clinic College of Medicine, Rochester, MN) and Thomas Howe (District One Hospital, Fairbault, MN), concluded that %22our results suggest that the use of subcuticular absorbable staples for skin closure at the time of cesarean section may lead to less in-hospital analgesic use … are associated with less pain immediately post-operatively when pain can be the most difficult to control… [and] would result in a cost savings of approximately $200 per patient even after considering the higher cost of the absorbable staple device.%22 The unique INSORB Absorbable Skin Stapling Technology is a revolutionary new skin closure technology that places an absorbable staple entirely underneath the skin to close surgical incisions. Patients now have a more comfortable, convenient and cosmetic choice for rapid skin closure. This unique device has won several national awards, including the 2006 Wall Street Journal Technology Innovation of the Year Award for medical devices. Incisive Surgical is the only company in the world that offers this technology and has sold over 750,000 INSORB® Absorbable Skin Staplers since the product launch in January 2005.
