About the programme
Targets the two complications that most often follow closure: infection and excessive scarring.
Drug loading is tuned per procedure class, since abdominal, cardiothoracic and dermatologic closures have different risk profiles.
Evaluated alongside standard-of-care closure in controlled clinical settings.
