INTEGUSEAL* Microbial Sealant: an Essential Tool in the Fight Against Surgical Site Infections
Prepping and draping are important parts of your pre-op routine, but no prep protocol can completely sterilize a patient’s skin. It’s the pathogens left behind that are the leading cause of surgical site infections. And those are the pathogens that InteguSeal* is designed to handle.

InteguSeal* Microbial Sealant is proven to seal and immobilize the bacteria that survive prep, including MRSA, S. epidermidis and E. coli—preventing them from contaminating the surgical incision. 

User Comments
 
“We found that InteguSeal does a couple of important things : It keeps the drapes from drifting and by doing so actually stops peri-incisional bacterial colonies from migrating into the wound .”

“The risk of SSI, amongst other complications, is strongly associated with deep wound infection in joint surgery. The implications to the patient and their families, the medical centers, and the surgeons …are immense ”

“In orthopedics, once you’re into the joint, if you get an infection, that can be an absolute disaster. That’s why I consider InteguSeal* an integral part of what I do in the operating room to help prevent infection.”

“We found that as little as 100 bacteria could cause periprosthetic infection in the presence of an implant.”

“I’ve used (InteguSeal*) for the last couple of years and the issue of drape migration has become non-existent.”

“Making sure the odds of introduction of infection are minimized is very, very important.”
Joseph Crowe, MDl
Lanham, MD
“There’s no migration, everything’s dry, everything’s tight. It works beautifully.”
Joseph Crowe, MD
Lanham, MD
“In today’s cutting-edge surgery, with the complex procedures that we perform, I think it’s probably the best way to stop intra-operative migration.”
