While intentionally leaving an abdomen open can be a life-saving strategy, it does come with increased risks and complications. Despite every effort being made, successful definitive wound closure is achieved in only 62% of patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To address this, St. Michael\u2019s Hospital, a site of Unity Health Toronto, worked with Toronto-based InventoRR MD to introduce AbClo, its flagship innovative non-invasive abdominal fascia closure device. Originating inside St. Michael\u2019s, InvestoRR MD was founded by surgeons who have experienced firsthand the challenges of abdominal surgery, and the need for a safe, cutting-edge solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This non-invasive solution is an &#8220;advanced corset&#8221; made of medical-grade materials that restores the equilibrium of all the muscles in the torso through four tightening dials, allowing for a steady close of the open abdomen. AbClo results in a 50% increase in abdomen closure rates and a 60% reduction in consumable costs per patient. Additionally, AbClo allows patients to spend less time in the OR and ICU, resulting in a 40% reduction in physician and\/or nurse time spent caring for and tending to patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the project closed, Unity Health has procured this solution and this life-saving technology is being utilized in five intensive care units and by trauma surgeons at St. Michael\u2019s Hospital.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\"><div class=\"lazyblock-project-overview-Z29RYEJ wp-block-lazyblock-project-overview\"><div class=\"overview\">\n            <div class=\"overview__header\">Overview<\/div>\n            <div class=\"overview__item\">\n                <div class=\"overview__icon\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/canhealthnetwork.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/overview-company.png\" alt=\"accompanied photo of lightbulb with gears (A)\">\n                <\/div>\n                <div class=\"overview__detail\">\n                    <div class=\"overview__bold\">Compagnie<\/div>\n                    <div class=\"overview__text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.inventorrmd.ca\/\">InventoRR MD<\/a><\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"overview__item\">\n                <div class=\"overview__icon\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/canhealthnetwork.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/overview-edge.png\" alt=\"accompanied photo of rubik\u2019s cube (B)\">\n                <\/div>\n                <div class=\"overview__detail\">\n                    <div class=\"overview__bold\">Edge<\/div>\n                    <div class=\"overview__text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/unityhealth.to\/\">Unity Health Toronto <\/a><\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"overview__item\">\n                <div class=\"overview__icon\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/canhealthnetwork.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/overview-technology.png\" alt=\"Technology icon\">\n                <\/div>\n                <div class=\"overview__detail\">\n                    <div class=\"overview__bold\">Type de technologie<\/div>\n                    <div class=\"overview__text\">Abdominal Fascia Closure Device<\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"overview__item\">\n                <div class=\"overview__icon\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/canhealthnetwork.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/overview-year.png\" alt=\"accompanied photo of clock (C)\">\n                <\/div>\n                <div class=\"overview__detail\">\n                    <div class=\"overview__bold\">Ann\u00e9e du projet<\/div>\n                    <div class=\"overview__text\">2022<\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"overview__item\">\n                <div class=\"overview__icon\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/canhealthnetwork.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/overview-status.png\" alt=\"accompanied photo of graph(D)\">\n                <\/div>\n                <div class=\"overview__detail\">\n                    <div class=\"overview__bold\">Statut<\/div>\n                    <div class=\"overview__text\">Termin\u00e9<\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Following open abdominal surgery, there are many instances when the decision is made to leave the abdomen open intentionally.
