PREVENTION OF FASCIAL RETRACTION
fasciotens®Abdomen
Steady fascial retraction is a common problem in treatment
of the open abdomen. fasciotens®Abdomen applies tension to
the abdominal wall and can thus prevent fascial retraction,
increase intra-abdominal volume and reduce intra-abdominal pressure.
fasciotens®Abdomen thus supports the stabilisation of critically
ill patients, enabling direct, early closure of the open abdomen.
THE MEDICAL PROBLEM
-
Unrestricted fascial retraction
-
Closure often difficult or impossible as a result
The creation of an open abdomen is often a necessary and life-saving
measure as a last resort. However, opening of the abdominal wall also
marks the beginning of steady fascial retraction, which often makes
closure of the abdominal wall difficult or impossible as a result.
Therefore, treatment of the open abdomen requires the use of all available
means to close the abdomen quickly.
THE SOLUTION: FASCIOTENS®ABDOMEN
- Prevents fascial retraction
- Keeps the abdominal wall under tension
- Increases the intra-abdominal volume
- Lowers the intra-abdominal pressure as a result
- Enables direct, early closure
- Can reduce complications
fasciotens®Abdomen achieves the best possible results if it is used
immediately after the open abdomen has been created.
fasciotens®Abdomen applies vertical traction to the fascia and can
thus prevent fascial retraction, increase intra-abdominal volume
and reduce intra-abdominal pressure. These three effects accelerate
closure and increase the rate of closure. However, the patient is
not the only one to benefit from the use of fasciotens® Abdomen.
Fewer revisions, a shorter hospital stay and better utilisation
of DRGs also enable the hospital to make savings. fasciotens®Abdomen
lends itself to combination with other therapies (e.g. vacuum therapy)
and can also be integrated easily into the nursing routine on the ICU.
FINANCIAL ADVANTAGES OF USING FASCIOTENS® ABDOMEN
Shorten treatment time, save costs
Compared to the previous procedure, in which the retraction of the fascia
was accepted, there are various medical and financial advantages in
the use of fasciotens®Abdomen. With the previous procedure, there is a
steady increase of the fascia distance in the course of the treatment period.
Only after the edema has receded can the recovery of the abdominal
wall be started. By using fasciotens®Abdomen directly during the creation
of the open abdomen, on the other hand, the fascia retraction is prevented
and the abdominal wall is already stretched during the time of the oedema,
so that the abdomen can be closed directly after the oedema has receded.
The cost saving of fasciotens®abdomen results from
• Shortening the ITS stay (approx. 1,500€/day)
• Reduction of revision interventions (3,500€/intervention)
• Increase in ITS capacity due to earlier transfer

fasciotens®Hernia
INTRAOPERATIVE FASCIAL STRETCHING
fasciotens®Hernia
Previously, in order to close complex hernias, time-consuming abdominal
wall reconstruction procedures were required. fasciotens®Hernia makes it possible
to stretch the abdominal wall intraoperatively in approx. 30 minutes via
standardised,controlled traction.
Thanks to the (CE-)certified fasciotens®Hernia, a mean gain in length of
approx. 10 cm can be achieved with maximum preservation of tissue,
which makes it possible to preserve the integrity of the abdominal wall and
to close the hernia directly and safely.1)

DESCRIPTION OF THE MEDICAL PROBLEM
- Direct closure of complex hernias is often difficult
- Extensive reconstruction procedures can weaken the abdominal wall
- High complication rates
- Increased morbidity long-term
Previously, complex hernias could often only be closed using extensive
and complicated reconstructive procedures. However, these procedures
can often weaken the abdominal wall and lead to increased long-term morbidity.
THE SOLUTION: FASCIOTENS®HERNIA
- Enables direct closure of complex hernias
- Alternative to time-consuming abdominal wall reconstructions
- Respects the anatomical integrity of the abdominal wall
- Avoids specific complications of other procedures
Safety thanks to…
- CE-certification OR CE-certified medical device (depending on space)
- Standardised diagonal traction
- Patented tissue-preserving technique
- Quantifiable gain in fascial length
fasciotens®Hernia has been developed to close complex hernias (> 8 cm) directly
and without the need for time-consuming abdominal wall reconstruction procedures.
The anatomical integrity (of the abdominal wall) is respected and specific
complications of other procedures are avoided.
fasciotens®Hernia is a CE-certified medical device that provides the patient and
surgeon with the highest degree of application safety via quantifiable,
intraoperative and uniform fascial traction for about 30 minutes. fasciotens®Hernia is
conveniently and safely attached to the operating table in conjunction
with fasciotens® Carrier.
