FloraSeal® SurgiSeal® PlasmaBlade™ RadiaLux™ Negative Pressure Wound Therapy
  • Surgical Site Infections (SSI) are a common complication following breast surgery procedures, despite being considered a clean surgery, with incidences of infection typically ranging from 0.8–26%.[1]
  • SSI 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.[2]
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.[3]
  • 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.[4]

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.

  • PlasmaBlade™ shows equivalent cutaneous healing to scalpel with better POSAS score than scalpel.[5]
  • Use of the PlasmaBlade™ has been shown to produce a 2.4-day reduction in drainage duration and 386ml reduction in mean drainage volume in Mastectomy.[6]
  • Use of the PlasmaBlade™ during bilateral breast reduction was associated with a significant decrease in operative time (10%; 37.24 ± 15.30 min versus 41.55 ± 11.61 min; p = 0.04) compared to traditional electrosurgery.[7]
PlasmaBlade™
  • In a tissue study of surgical margins, the PlasmaBlade™ was associated with a decrease in thermal injury, improving sample quality compared to traditional electrosurgery.[8]
  • Significantly more breast tissue was removed per minute: 20 ± 11 g/min during bilateral breast reduction when using the PlasmaBlade™ versus 16 ± 8 g/min for traditional electrosurgery, a 23.9% difference (p = 0.0002).[7]

  • The RadiaLux™ lighted retractor is a single-use retractor designed to provide surgeons with the ability to manipulate soft tissue through a combination of blades when assembled onto a retractor handle.
  • The retractor provides illumination to the surgical field independent of an external light source or fibre optic cables.
  • Powered by a low-temperature LED, RadiaLux™ features four interchangeable blades optimized for access in advanced breast surgery. With a specially designed lens, light is directed towards the back of the surgical pocket in a unique radius improving visibility in the plane of dissection.
RadiaLux™

According to a recent review, application of a single-use negative pressure wound therapy system reduced the rate of SSI by 58% compared to standard of care. Additionally, patients had less hospital LOS compared to standard of care.[1]

RadiaLux™

The Genadyne NPWT portfolio is completely comprehensive, from Ultraportable Single-Use and Reusable Pumps to High Demand and Instil Pumps. The Dressing Portfolio is compatible across all NPWT Pumps, allowing for an all-inclusive ecosystem for a hospital institution. From Absorbent Dressings that can be used with or without NPWT, ready to use Foam Dressings, and all the way to large Foam Kits, Abdominal Kits and PVA Kits.

Closed incision management negative pressure has been proven to:

  • Protect the incision from external contamination
  • Hold closed incision wound edges together
  • Help reduce tensile forces across the incision
  • Help reduce oedema
  • Reduce seroma and haematoma fluid collection
  • Suitable for dehisced wounds, trauma wounds, partial thickness burns, flaps and grafts

Green Foam

More than just a colour…

The visual impact of the Genadyne Green Foam is undeniable. Green was chosen to allow clinicians to better differentiate between viable and nonviable tissue in the wound bed. The colour contrast increases differentiation with the wound bed.

Patented Genadyne Green Foam

  • Genadyne Green Foam is a fully reticulated polyurethane foam made with polyether resin to allow better hydrolytic stability. The design increases performance under pressure and in moist environments.
  • The Dodecahedron cell structure gives a three-dimensional skeletal strand to the cells providing enhanced filtering qualities and increasing the removal of exudate and infectious materials. This cell structure also increases tensile strength to prevent fraying. Fraying is significantly reduced, preventing stray pieces from being left in the wound bed.
  • The combination of cell structure and composition gives the foam a non-adherent property, allowing for easier removal during dressing changes, thereby reducing pain and discomfort.
  • The foam creates direct contact with the wound bed, allowing for even distribution of pressure. This assists in reducing oedema and promotes tissue perfusion and granulation.

Variable Pressure

The advanced variable pressure capabilities of all of the Genadyne Negative Pressure Pumps, allow different negative pressures to be used without the downsides of painful intermittent therapy.

By maintaining negative pressure throughout the cycle, variable negative pressure wound therapy avoids losing an airtight seal and displacement of the dressing. This gradual “wave” is gentler to the patient increasing blood flow to the peri-wound and preventing ischemia. The changes in pressure are imperceptible to the patient, increasing patient comfort and compliance.

The literature suggests that the use of Variable Pressure is beneficial. It results in decreased blood flow that is known to stimulate angiogenesis and granulation tissue formation and to increase blood flow that is known to facilitate oxygenation and nutrient supply and removal of waste products. [2]

Cycling the negative pressure level may be beneficial especially when treating poorly vascularized tissue with a risk for development of ischemia, as pressure is released repeatedly.[2]
