ivWatch FloraSeal® SurgiSeal® Medtronic RF Ablation PlasmaBlade™ Zip Skin Closure Q-Close™ Sutures

ivWatch was founded with one goal – to help clinicians provide the highest quality of care to every patient by detecting peripheral IV (PIV) infiltrations and extravasations at their earliest stage, when patient harm is highly preventable. Our non-invasive technology continuously monitors your patient’s IV status using advanced optics to notify you in real-time to the tissue changes that indicate a potential infiltration. ivWatch is here to help clinicians deliver optimal outcomes in vascular therapy.

  • It is estimated that 2% to 5% of all patients who undergo surgery will develop a Surgical Site Infection (SSI). These infections are associated with added morbidity, including prolonged hospitalisation by 2 weeks, 5 times the risk of readmission, an increase in average health care costs of up to $26,000 per patient, and twice the risk of death.[1]
FloraSeal®
  • FloraSeal has been shown to trap and immobilise bacteria that may cause infection to the patient. It rapidly and powerfully kills gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.[2]
  • FloraSeal effectively reduces microbial colonisation within 15 minutes and maintains a low microbial colonisation throughout the 24 hours after application, has the same efficacy when being used with or without an antimicrobial surgical incise drape, and mitigates microorganisms more effectively than an antimicrobial surgical incise drape alone.[3]

SurgiSeal® Topical Skin Adhesive is a high purity, antimicrobial, liquid topical skin adhesive that can replace sutures for incision or laceration repair.

SurgiSeal® is the only topical skin adhesive in the world to receive FDA 510K Clearance in demonstrating inhibition of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria growth.[1]

SurgiSeal® provides the optimal balance between strength and flexibility. In replacing sutures for incision or laceration repair, it can save time, provide a flexible, water-resistant, protective coating, and eliminate the need for suture removal.

1. SurgiSeal IFU: Due to the anhydrous property of the SurgiSeal adhesive, gram+ and gram- bacteria which become incorporated within the adhesive upon application, are not expected to grow.

The Accurian™ Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) platform combines proprietary hardware design and quad core processing, resulting in sophisticated algorithms that manage power and control temperature during ablation surgery. The Accurian™ ablation therapy platform has been extensively tested for lasting reliability and is upgrade-ready for the future.

Zip is a non-invasive skin closure device for surgical incisions and lacerations. It's designed to distribute strain along the incision. This helps reduce wound complications[1,2], saving you cost and time.[3,5]

Zip’s benefits aren’t only limited to healthcare providers. The puncture-free skin closure method also leads to greater patient satisfaction.[6] This means less pain, a greater range of motion during recovery, and reduced scarring.[7,8]
