PITTSBURGH, July 12,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- "I had three knee replacement
surgeries in six years. I thought there should be a barrier between
the suture tie and skin to prevent overgrowth of the incision
area," said an inventor, from Lytle,
Texas, "My design could also help prevent the site from
being infected, and reduce scarring."
The invention provides an effective means to prevent the
overgrowth of sutures and the associated infection to the sutures
and incision. In doing so, it offers a barrier to keep the tie end
of the suture elevated from the skin. It also would make the
removal of the sutures easier. The invention features a practical
design that is easy to apply so it is ideal for hospitals and
surgical centers. Additionally, a prototype model is available upon
request.
The original design was submitted to the Austin sales office of InventHelp. It is
currently available for licensing or sale to manufacturers or
marketers. For more information, write Dept. 22-ASP-366,
