Brijmedical offers Brijjit® Force Modulating Tissue Bridges, a biocompatible, non‑invasive skin closure device that actively offloads incision tension up to 100% as a final layer of closure. Clinically proven to cut wound breakdown by 90% and scar size by 38% while being waterproof, breathable and hypoallergenic, the device stays on the skin for 10‑14+ days and can be easily applied and removed by clinicians or patients.

Problem
Post‑surgical incisions and traumatic wounds are prone to tension‑induced breakdown, excessive scarring, and allergic reactions to traditional skin adhesives, leading to higher complication rates and additional patient visits.
Solution
Brijjit® Force Modulating Tissue Bridges are biocompatible, non‑invasive skin closure devices that actively offload incisional tension up to 100% while remaining on the surface of the skin. The device is applied as the final layer of closure, providing continuous tension reduction for 10‑14+ days, even under compression garments. Clinical trials in breast, orthopedic, and podiatric surgery demonstrate up to 90% reduction in wound breakdown, a 38% decrease in scar size, and no reported allergic reactions. The breathable, waterproof, hypoallergenic bridge is easy to apply and remove at the bedside or by patients at home, supporting faster healing without the need for sutures or tissue adhesives. By maintaining a low‑tension environment, Brijjit improves patient outcomes, reduces postoperative complications, and streamlines operative workflow.
Target Audience
Primary customers are plastic surgeons, orthopedic surgeons, podiatric surgeons, and emergency/urgent‑care clinicians who perform incision closure and seek to minimize wound complications and scarring.
