The document focuses on the VERSAJET II Hydrosurgery System, which is designed to optimize surgical debridement by preserving viable tissue and reducing the time to wound closure. This system utilizes a high-pressure saline jet to precisely excise nonviable tissue while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue. Key advantages include reduced bacterial burden, shorter healing times, and decreased procedural costs due to fewer necessary debridement sessions. Clinical data indicates that healing times are significantly improved, with closure times reduced by approximately 33%. The system demonstrates its efficiency in treating complex wounds and enhances the effectiveness of grafting procedures. Additionally, it allows for easier access and control in challenging wound areas, potentially leading to better patient outcomes and lower hospital stays. Overall, the VERSAJET II system represents an advanced technological solution in surgical wound care, aligning with the goals of federal and local healthcare initiatives focused on improving patient treatment protocols and reducing costs.
