Wittmann Patch®
The Wittmann Patch is a Velcro®-like device 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.

StarGuard™ Plates for TAWT™ Procedure
Padded StarGuard (SG9) retention suture plates facilitate abdominal wall traction, anchor retention sutures in place, prevent suture pull-through, and help protect skin.
StarGuard plates also can be cut into shorter lengths to serve as an alternative to discontinued Retention Guard (RG3) plates.
