MARIETTA, Ga., Dec. 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- BRIJ Medical, Inc. has been awarded a breakthrough technology national group purchasing agreement in the "non-invasive skin closure" category with Premier, Inc. Effective December 15, 2024, the new agreement allows Premier members, at their discretion, to take advantage of special pricing and terms pre-negotiated by Premier for the Brijjit® BP-100 and BP-75 Force Modulating Tissues Bridges. Premier offers Breakthrough Technology designations to innovations that offer a major advantage in terms of patient safety, clinical outcomes and operational efficiencies.

The Brijjit Force Modulating Tissue Bridge offers a non-invasive solution for relieving tension during incision closure, wound support, and scar therapy. It is cost-effective, replacing the final suture layer (sutures, glues, staples, and tapes) and also reducing the need for expensive dressings. Additionally, it reduces operative time, being up to 9x faster than suture placement. Data supports a 90% reduction in wound breakdown,* lowering complications such as open wounds, and mitigating risk factors for surgical site infection.
