Histologics LLC Wound Care Launches Soft K-Bride®, a Revolutionary Wound-Bed Prep, Debridement, and Biopsy Device
Summary: Histologics LLC has launched Soft K-Bride®, a versatile device combining wound-bed preparation, debridement, and biopsy capabilities using proprietary Kylon® technology—a hooked brush array that gently removes necrotic tissue, biofilm, and debris while preserving healthy tissue. Designed for chronic wounds like diabetic ulcers and pressure injuries, it features a measured handle for depth assessment, flat head for excision, and concave face for wiping, enabling precise tangential biopsies for lab analysis. Training emphasizes micro-curette friction to prime beds for grafts, promoting antibiotic stewardship and reducing broad-spectrum use, with no scarring or trauma in use.
Key Highlights:
- Kylon® array: Transforms into frictional micro-curettes under pressure for debridement and biopsy without trauma.
- Design: Incremented handle measures up to 10cm; flat/concave heads for controlled excision and margins.
- Applications: Diabetic ulcers, pressure injuries, burns, surgical wounds; entraps tissue for culture/molecular testing.
- Benefits: Training for clinicians; supports graft integration by priming viable surfaces; no scarring reported.
- Quote: Dr. Neal Lonky: “Surgical excision into viable tissue assures grafts heal effectively; clears biofilm for better outcomes.”
