Wakeman, Ohio<\/strong> \u2013 Exsurco\u00ae Medical, Inc. announces the launch of a new wound debridement and skin grafting medical device designed for use in burn and trauma centers. Backed by Exsurco\u2019s knowledge and ground breaking design and innovation, the new Amalgatome\u00ae SD is a revolutionary break-through in combining skin grafting and wound debridement technology in an industry that hasn\u2019t seen this kind of innovation for a multiple use device.\u00a0By using one device for multiple procedures (excision and\/or auto grafting), the Amalgatome SD helps those who are in critical need of the healing power of skin.<\/p>\n

\u201cExsurco has previously delivered products for tissue bank and processing companies that have helped to improve and simplify the procedures for donor allograft tissue recovery that increases yield, safety and comfort, while minimizing technician fatigue.\u00a0These products ultimately help increase the gift of tissue donation to touch more patients,\u201d said Sara Ann MacKinlay, Exsurco Medical\u2019s General Manager. \u201cTherefore, we are proud to introduce our new Amalgatome SD medical device for skin grafting and wound debridement to burn and trauma centers across the country for use on patients requiring these critical, lifesaving procedures.\u201d The product was recently introduced at the American Burn Association\u2019s 49th Annual Conference in Boston on March 21-24th.<\/p>\n

The Amalgatome SD features a unique and proprietary excision ring design integrated with finely machined bearings and gear teeth to power the 360\u00b0 cutting surface of the pneumatic surgical device.\u00a0The circular design allows the precision-engineered surgical steel edge to perform with incredible sharpness during skin grafting and wound debridement procedures.\u00a0The device is provided with two sizes of attachments; a two-inch and four-inch, that can be used interchangeably throughout the procedure, depending on the size of the graft or wound debridement area.\u00a0Exsurco provides the sterile, disposable excision rings for use with the attachments.<\/p>\n

Rather than using an oscillating cutting motion or a forceful pushing motion against the skin, as used in traditional devices, the Amalgatome SD glides smoothly over the patient\u2019s skin or debridement area as the device is pulled by user over the skin surface during the procedure.\u00a0Made with minimal parts and durable components, the device provides effective * wound debridement, including removal of necrotic tissue and eschar, as well as capable of producing uniform, consistent skin grafts in thicknesses ranging from 0.005\u201d to 0.045\u201d in increments of 0.001 inches.<\/p>\n
