TopClosure® Tension Relief System (TRS)
TopClosure® Tension Relief System (TRS) - an innovative new technology for securing wound closure.
TopClosure® Tension Relief System (TRS) - an innovative new technology for the management of simple and complex wounds is now available for skin stretching and secure wound closure. The TopClosure® TRS is easy to apply, safe to use and leads to excellent results by providing simple solutions for complex problems. The TopClosure® TRS is intended to temporarily stretch skin tissues to aid closure and healing of post traumatic, surgical, acute and chronic skin wounds. Complex wounds and skin defects that cannot be primarily closed are common during general, orthopedics, vascular, plastic and reconstructive surgery as well as in other surgical procedures. The principle of stretching wound margins is problematic. This technique could cause necrosis and tear the skin margins during approximation of the opposing wound edges if excessive tension is applied. TopClosure® TRS is very easily applied for diverse usage and variable anchoring distance, allows complete patient ambulation.
