New Wound Protector Cuts SSI Risk in Abdominal Surgery

A novel wound protector, Viclean®, helps reduce surgical site infections by preventing contamination during open abdominal procedures.

  • In emergency cesarean sections, Viclean® rapidly diverted amniotic fluid, safeguarding the incision.
  • During elective left hemicolectomy, enteric effluent was effectively managed, keeping wound edges clean and dry.

This innovative device is positively reviewed by surgical teams and is now authorized in over 20 countries, though not yet available worldwide.
