Wittmann Patch®
The Wittmann Patch is used to bridge and re-approximate abdominal wall openings when primary closure is not possible and/or repeat entries are necessary.
Use of the Wittmann Patch, ideally before lateral retraction and loss of abdominal domain, can help achieve fascia-to-fascia abdominal wall closure and avoid a ventral hernia.

Retention Sutures Are Back!
Retention Guard padded plates anchor retention sutures in place, prevent suture pull-through, and help protect skin.
They are the only retention suture product on the market that address Joint Commission, hospital sterility, infection control, and regulatory compliance.
Retention Guards are an effective alternative to the discontinued Ethicon RSB5 Retention Suture Bridge.
