UTSW RCT Study, Aesthetic Surgery Journal
Soft tissue and cutaneous tension is an important contributor to complicated wound healing and poor scar cosmesis after surgery and its mitigation is a key consideration in aesthetic and reconstructive procedures. The study objective was to assess the efficacy of the force modulating tissue bridge (FMTB) (“Brijjit”, BRIJ Medical Inc., Atlanta, GA) in reducing mechanical tension on postoperative wounds
J. Andrew Grotting, MD, Orthopedic White Paper
Wound complications in orthopedic surgery can be a source of significant patient morbidity, re-operation, and increased cost of care. Superficial wound dehiscence can progress to open wounds or infection of bone, prosthetic hardware, and/or
joint spaces. Even when minor, open wounds can lead to increased office visits or after-hours calls and reduced patient satisfaction.
Patient Journey (Gwen): Total Knee Arthroplasty
Gwen, a Total Knee Replacement patient, wanted to find a solution to both her healing and scar concerns. Discovering Brijjit through a satisfied family member who underwent aesthetic surgery, Gwen approached her Orthopedic Surgeon for approval to incorporate Brijjit for wound support and scar therapy.
Gwen's success and outcomes attest to the transformative results we see when orthopedic surgeons Relieve the Tension® with BRIJ technologies.
Holly Wall Study, Aesthetic Surgery Journal
Tension on healing wounds increases the risk of dehiscence and poor or pathologic scar formation. Force modulating tissue bridges (FMTBs) represent a new class of wound closure and support devices designed to offload tension on healing wounds to improve wound healing and scar outcomes.
The study was undertaken to assess the efficacy of FMTBs to reduce the risk of wound healing complications in elective breast surgery.
Brijjit Force Modulating Tissue Bridges, Aesthetic Surgery Journal
Force modulating tissue bridges (FMTB) represent a new class of combined wound closure and scar reduction device designed to optimize the tension milieu of the healing wound.
Engineering analysis and testing in both intact skin and incisional models was undertaken to assess changes in tissue tension associated with device placement and compare to standard suture closure.
