N E T • 1 4 3 Protect Abdominal Wound Edges Intraoperative wound irrigation and continuous wound edge protec- tion are proven practices for reducing surgical site infection. Prescient Surgical's CleanCision Wound Retraction and Protection System combines the benefits of both into a single device. The sheath enables hands-free, continuous irrigation of the wound edges throughout an abdominal procedure. After the device sheath is placed into the surgical wound, its permeable outer layer delivers a sterile irrigant solution to the wound edges by way of an external fluid bag; excess fluid is removed through a separate chamber using a wall-suction unit. The inner layer of the sheath is impermeable, so surgeons have full access to the surgical site while guarding against contamination. prescientsurgical.com
