Victor Medical's incision protector is a widely used instrument in surgical operations. Its main functions include retracting the incision, reducing bleeding and seepage, protecting the incision from contamination, and helping to prevent postoperative infections and complications. The incision protector is a new type of surgical auxiliary device that can be categorized into fixed height, adjustable height, soft, hard, and absorbable types based on different materials and designs. These various types of incision protectors each have their own advantages during surgery, allowing doctors to choose according to the type of operation and incision requirements. Incision protectors are employed in numerous surgical fields, such as cardiothoracic surgery, gastrointestinal surgery, hepatobiliary surgery, urological surgery, breast surgery, thyroid surgery, etc. Additionally, they play an important role in cesarean sections and gynecological malignancy surgeries.
Incision Retraction: Incision protectors can effectively retract the incision, expanding the surgical field of view so that doctors can clearly see the surgical site, improving the precision and safety of the operation.
Reducing Bleeding and Seepage: By compressing the tissues around the incision, incision protectors can reduce bleeding and seepage, keeping the surgical area clean and dry.
Protecting the Incision: Incision protectors have excellent isolation effects, keeping air and abdominal bacteria away from the incision, reducing the risk of infection. Their waterproof and leak-proof features also help keep the surgical area dry.
Preventing Complications: Incision protectors can also prevent certain postoperative complications, such as incision implantation and abdominal wall endometriosis. Additionally, for electrosurgical procedures, incision protectors can insulate the incision to prevent electrical burns.
Ease of Operation: Incision protectors are relatively easy to use, helping to reduce the steps and time needed during surgery, thus improving surgical efficiency.
Victor Medical single use wound protector and retractor offers two models: VIPA and VIPB, with multiple sizes and channel diameters ranging from 1.5cm to 32cm, to meet different surgical needs. VIPA is a height adjustable type that can be flexibly adjusted to fit closely with the tissue as needed; VIPB is a fixed height type made of high-quality silicone material, which is easy to operate and convenient to use.
The usage method of incision protectors varies by type, but the general steps include:
Open the packaging in a sterile environment to ensure the incision protector is not contaminated.
Select the appropriate incision protector according to the size of the surgical incision and the type of surgery.
Gently place the incision protector around the incision and ensure it is securely fixed to the incision.
Begin the surgery and adjust the position and size of the incision protector as needed.
Inspect the packaging of the incision protector before use to ensure it is intact, sterile, and within the valid usage period.
Handle gently when installing and using the incision protector to avoid causing additional damage to the incision.
Avoid direct contact with sharp instruments to prevent piercing the incision protector.
Incision protectors are typically single-use products and should be disposed of following medical waste disposal regulations; they should not be reused to prevent cross-infection.
