PLASTIC SURGERY AND TAPELESS
Perhaps no surgical subspecialty has the potential to use as many Tapeless products as plastic surgery. The reason is simply that plastic surgeons do various procedures ranging from hand surgery to complicated reconstruction. Often the plastic surgeon is called upon as the final solution to deal with chronic or complicated wounds. Wound healing is their forte, and consequently the smallest of details may make a significant difference in a result. For this reason, great attention is paid to even secondary wound dressings since they often affect the ability to heal a wound and reduce the unwanted complications of scarring and tissue loss.
The success of Tapeless is related to the design of the product and the material used. The design imparts its influence through the ability to support the tissues, keeping the primary dressing exactly where it is placed and intended for use, and, as in the case of the breast dressing holder, can actually be used to help contour the surgically operated breast and define anatomic features such as the infra mammary fold and symmetry with the opposite breast.
The material is equally as important since compression, while helping to reduce swelling, will also reduce blood supply. The key to a successfully healing wound is to maintain a good blood supply. Tapeless is slightly compressive allowing for changes in swelling, up or down, that is accommodated for by the material without a need to reapply or adjust the degree of compression. Because the material is “forgiving” in this manner, at the same time, the blood supply will not be compromised or significantly reduced.
These Tapeless qualities in of themselves make Tapeless the ideal secondary dressing for most plastic surgical procedures, and when added to the qualities not discussed, like cost effectiveness, increased patient compliance, no adhesives, latex free and no bulk, further enhance the clinical efficacy of Tapeless.
