Resivant Medical Expands Cutiva® PLUS in Surgical Use
Resivant Medical has recently made waves in the medical field with the expansion of its innovative Cutiva® PLUS Skin Closure System. This advanced closure technology is now being utilized across a diverse array of surgical disciplines, including orthopedic, sports medicine, spine, plastic, and pediatric surgery. This development follows the successful initiation of its clinical use, which started in June of this year.
The response from healthcare professionals has been overwhelmingly positive, particularly highlighting the product's ease of application and strength of wound closure. Surgeons and physician assistants have reported excellent experiences using Cutiva® PLUS to close incisions for various procedures. Notably, it has been effectively employed in orthopedic surgeries, such as hip and knee replacements, shoulder arthroplasties, and spine operations. Additionally, it has proven beneficial in sports medicine procedures, including repairs for Achilles tendons and ACLs, as well as plastic and pediatric surgeries.
Darren Obrigkeit, the CEO of Resivant Medical, stated, “Our mission is to establish a new standard of care in skin closure.” He emphasized that Cutiva® PLUS was designed with a specific goal in mind: to combine ease of application, robust incision closure, a microbial barrier seal, and convenient peel-off removal all in one system, ultimately enhancing patient safety. Obrigkeit expressed satisfaction seeing surgical teams apply their innovative design successfully across various specialties, affirming the practical effectiveness of Cutiva® PLUS in everyday medical environments.
At its core, Cutiva® PLUS is built on Resivant's proprietary crosslinked silicone cyanoacrylate adhesive technology. This allows for a straightforward, single-handed application, ensuring strong and flexible closure of incisions. The adhesive not only securely seals the incision but also provides a barrier against microbial contamination, an essential aspect of surgical procedures. Moreover, the peel-off removal feature adds to its user-friendliness—allowing for smoother transitions during post-operative care.
As Resivant Medical continues to onboard additional clinical sites, they are steadily expanding the commercial footprint of the Cutiva® PLUS product family. The growing acceptance and usage of this skin closure system solidify its place as a reliable tool in modern surgical practices.
