Brijjit BP-100
The Brijjit BP-100 is the “original” Brijjit. With its extended length and footpads, it is designed to be a versatile solution for most surgical areas, making it your go-to “workhorse.” It is ideal for linear incisions and areas where a larger footplate is needed to provide maximum adhesion and strength.
Patients often call this product “armor over their incision,” as it helps protect the incision and improve wound healing.
Brijjit BP-75
NEW ARRIVAL — While you may be familiar with the original Brijjit BP-100 “workhorse,” the new BP-75 is a unique design with a shorter length and rounded footpads that allow for enhanced precision placement for tighter turns or curved surfaces/incisions.
This specialized product complements the BP-100 — effectively relieving tension from wounds to facilitate optimal healing and improved scarring from surgical incisions.
How it Works to Relieve the Tension®
While the tension-related biomechanical processes leading to open wounds and poor/excess scarring are complex, the solution is straightforward: reducing tension on a healing skin wound can improve blood supply and healing.
Normal tension within tissue is critical to how our bodies work, but can have big negative impacts on wound healing. Brijjit can reduce tension on a healing wound unlike any other device available on the market.
Sutures focus these forces against the tissue, causing tissue compression and complications in wound healing. Glues and tapes do not actively alleviate the tension and subsequent tissue compression, plus they have a higher rate of allergic skin reactions.
Brijjits applied to a healing wound offload tension to mitigate tissue compression and improve blood flow, leading to better healing with markedly reduced wound breakdown and better scars.
The Importance of Tension Relief for Healing
Brijjit technology is proven to have a 90% reduction in wound breakdown. (3,4) Learn why this matters.
Tension at the site of wound closure is transferred to the underlying sutures which concentrate the force to cause tissue compression. This compression induces a cascade of effects harmful to wound healing including reduced wound perfusion and subsequent ischemia (reduced oxygenation) which can result in necrosis (tissue death), open wounds, and surgical site infections.
These complications are potentiated in patients with wound healing risk factors such as diabetes, vascular disease, smoking, autoimmune diseases, or use of medications like steroids.
Brijjit devices offload the tension at the wound site to address the root cause of the problem, improving the wound healing environment and reducing complications.
