Mass Casualty and Military Use

The TopClosure® Tension Relief System (TRS) can be applied non-invasively or invasively depending on the circumstances of the wound and the judgment of the surgeon.
It can be used for unlimited wound lengths, by applying a series of TopClosure® TRS along the suture line (in various directions as clinically indicated).


Trauma Applications
  • Reversible closure of complex wounds with significant loss of skin and soft tissue.
  • Simple, fast way to manage acute trauma wounds, where conventional primary wound treatment must be deferred. 
  • Secure wound closure when wounds are closed under tension.
 
 
Applications in Mass Casualty Disasters
  • The TopClosure® TRS is a novel concept in mass casualty treatment.
  • While in the past, complex wounds could not be primarily closed and were prone to further contamination and infection, with the TopClosure® TRS in hand, following basic cleansing of the wound, an adequate temporary, primary wound closure can be provided.
  • When the victim reaches the hospital, the TopClosure® TRS can be easily ‘zipped’-open for re-evaluation and definite treatment of the injury.
  • For the preparedness and response to emergencies and disasters, the TopClosure® TRS was designed to replace the conventional surgical stitching kits stocked in the emergency storage facilities.
 
 
Military Applications
  • The TopClosure® TRS is an important innovative trauma management device that can be applied in combat applications for temporary primary wound closure while complying with basic trauma guidelines.
  • This new device can be used in battalion First-Aid stations and field hospitals by surgeons, non-surgeon physicians and military medics.
  • TopClosure® TRS should be applied as a new methodology for the military Combat Casualty Care (CCC) protocol and be included in Combat Casualty Response Kits.

The TopClosure® TRS Military Series:




The importance of using the TopClosure® TRS was demonstrated in operation “Protective edge”, treating soldiers with severe injuries and extensive soft tissue loss. The system allows fast approximation of wound edges by stretching the skin in a way that could not have been done so far with stitches.
