Incision and wound closure

ACCESS Mini

Technology designed for the optimized closure of incisions in laparoscopic surgery

Biomimetics

Obtains a copy of the intact skin where the laparoscopic access port will be made

Precision

Allows an exact size incision required for conventional trocars

Autonomy

Standardized ON-OFF type closure in just 2 clicks

Replicability

Consistent results are obtained after controlled healing and direct wound monitoring

Benefits

Comfort

Minimally invasive
INCLODE ACCESS devices close the wound without piercing the skin.

Homy & Painless
It does not require replacement of dressings, it allows the usual hygiene of the patient and avoids postoperative discomfort.

Cosmetic result
It prevents hypertrophic scarring and avoids suture cross-hatching.

Practicality

ON-OFF type closure
It allows an immediate, mechanized, standardized, safe and reliable closure.

Safe procedure
It prevents needle-stick injuries related to skin suture.

Easy inspection
Direct wound monitoring without the use of dressings.

Saving

Minimal training
Quick learning technique. Requires minimal experience to achieve optimal results.

Lower operating costs
Systematic reduction in operating room time for skin closure.

Simplified follow-up
Remote wound monitoring. The device can be removed by the patient at home.

Technological resolution

The ACCESS Mini components have been developed both to suit the requirements of the skin ecosystem and the demands of surgical procedures.

1. Septum

It ensures constant and precise separation of the strips so that the incisional cleft is shaped.

2. Bumpers

They protect the end of the elastomer strips from accidental cuts.

3. Closure mechanism

Two-material Snap-fit technology that ensure a reliable anchorage and compliance to accompany the movements of the wound during healing.

4. Elastomer strips

Stretchy, elastic and transparent. They adapt to the opening, recover the original shape and allow adequate monitoring and drainage of the wound.

5. Stabilizing frame

It preserves the shape of the tape from the time the release liner is removed until the application of the device on the skin is completed.

6. Tape

High conformability, selective permeability, and reliable adhesiveness for long-term use.

7. Release liner

It protects the adhesive and serves as a structural support for the tape until the device is applied.

Abstract:

Incision and closure surgical device containing a guide for cutting instruments and a sutureless wound closure mechanism. A stick-to-skin tape has a central slit whose edges are reinforced by two strips that delimit a central incision groove. A removable central partition maintains a constant separation between the elastomeric strips before making the incision. A series of transverse conduits pass through the elastomeric strips and serve for drainage of the wound and for coupling the closing mechanism of the device. At the conclusion of the surgery, a removable pressure or magnetic closure comprises two bilateral flexible strips that are hooked together to approximate the elastomeric strips while facing the edges of the underlying wound. A complementary removable adapter element for laparoscopic surgery serves as a support for a trocar and as a gas containment valve. Another complementary removable adapter element serves as an ogive-shaped cutting guide for cutaneous excisional surgery.
