How can medical surgical incise dressings become a key barrier to reduce SSI?

Surgical site infection (SSI) is a serious challenge faced by medical institutions around the world. Data show that the incidence of SSI in hospitals in low- and middle-income countries is as high as 11.8%. Even in high-income countries, the incidence is still 1.2%-5.2%, making it the second most common healthcare-associated infection (HAI) [1,2]. SSI not only significantly prolongs patients' hospital stay by 7-11 days [5], but also seriously affects their physical and mental health. How to effectively construct a sterile barrier for surgical incisions has become a clinical focus. Medical surgical incise dressings reduce the risk of SSI by creating a sterile surface in the surgical area, physically isolating skin microbial flora, and inhibiting bacterial reproduction and migration.

Its core value lies in:

Antimicrobial protection: Iodine-containing surgical incise drapes continuously release iodine, providing broad-spectrum sterilization and creating a long-lasting sterile environment.

Mechanical protection: The highly elastic material adheres tightly to the skin, preventing intraoperative fluid leakage and bacterial invasion.

Visual operation: The highly transparent PU film maintains a clear surgical field, and the breathable layer prevents moisture accumulation.

Evidence-based support: The WHO and multiple studies indicate that the standardized use of surgical incise drape is an important measure for preventing SSIs [3,4].

Product name: Surgical incision dressing

Based on PU/PE film and medical adhesive technology, we offer a comprehensive solution for highly effective antibacterial and infection-reducing applications. During surgery, the product slowly releases iodine ions, providing broad-spectrum antibacterial protection and creating a sterile surface around the incision, thereby reducing the risk of surgical site infection.

Advantage

Breathable, comfortable, and skin-friendly: This highly breathable polyurethane skin-like membrane, patented for national invention, boasts high elasticity and ductility, conforming well to the skin. It prevents moisture accumulation beneath the membrane and provides excellent visualization during surgery.

Safe, stable, and hypoallergenic:The high-quality, medical, hypoallergenic pressure-sensitive adhesive securely and stably adheres to the skin around the incision throughout surgery, minimizing irritation and preventing bacterial migration deep within the skin. It eliminates the risk of curling and leaves no residue after removal.

Support and Protection:Excellent support and tensile strength prevent wound valgus and facilitate smooth closure of the surgical incision.

User-friendly Design: Pull tabs can be added to the sides or left uncoated margins for easier removal.  It can also be used in combination with incision films and non-woven surgical hole drapes, Available in multiple sizes.
