Each year, all industry partners and exhibitors are encouraged to apply for the Industry Innovation Award. This is a competitive product award for companies exhibiting at the AAHKS Annual Meeting. At the 2024 Annual Meeting, we presented Guard Medical with this award for creating the NPseal. The NPseal is an innovative surgical dressing designed to deliver continuous, non-powered Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) to support wound healing. Cory L. Calendine, MD the Chair of the AAHKS Industry Relations Committee had the pleasure of sitting down with two representatives from Guard Medical to discuss the NPseal – CEO Machiel van der Leest and Director of Marketing Leandra Armstrong. 

Listen and learn all about the NPseal, it’s easy-to-use functionality and how it’s a cost-effective option that promotes patient compliance and aims to reduce the incidence of SSCs and SSIs in orthopedic
procedures, which may help to significantly decrease healthcare financial burden.

Enjoy, and thanks for listening to AAHKS Amplified!
