Leading Plastic Surgeons Spotlight “Active Tension Offloading” as Emerging Standard in Surgical Closure at ASAPS

Published

on

At The Aesthetic MEET, hosted by The Aesthetic Society (ASAPS), leading plastic surgeons explored the critical role of tension management in surgical closure, wound healing, and scar quality. The conversation reflected growing momentum behind active tension offloading approaches, including BRIJ Medical’s Brijjit, a Force Modulating Tissue Bridge.

MARIETTA, Ga., June 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — During The Aesthetic Meeting recently held in Boston, Drs. Steven Sigalove, Holly Wall, Jason Pozner, and Vinaya Rednam shared clinical perspectives on how actively managing incisional tension at the time of closure is helping improve healing trajectories, reduce wound complications, and enhance aesthetic outcomes across a range of procedures.

“Active Tension Offloading” Spotlighted as Emerging Standard in Surgical Closure at ASAPS.

The discussion further reinforced BRIJ Medical‘s position within the surgical incision management market, highlighting active tension offloading as a differentiated category beyond traditional closure support technologies such as tapes, glues, or mesh products that sit passively on the surface of the skin.

According to the panel, active tension offloading is defined by three critical mechanical principles:

Input of energy to actively influence tension dynamics at the incision siteTissue movement toward the incision, including movement deep into the subcutaneous tissue rather than only at the skin surfaceForce redistribution, which redirects mechanical stress away from the incision to support better healing

The surgeons shared that passive “tension shielding” approaches alone do not address underlying mechanical stress in the same way, and as a result patients do not heal in the same way.

“To me, it’s kind of a no-brainer,” said Dr. Steven Sigalove. “When I started using Brijjit, I was blown away by how much better things were — not only in outcomes, but in the overall surgical experience. Patients recognize when you’re going beyond traditional closure techniques to deliver the best result possible, and they love that it is non-invasive and comfortable.”

The panel highlighted growing adoption of active tension offloading as surgeons increasingly seek more advanced approaches to surgical closure that support healing consistency, scar quality, and patient recovery.

As innovation in wound and skin closure continues to evolve, BRIJ Medical remains committed to advancing technologies that improve surgical outcomes and redefine how surgeons approach closure and healing optimization.

AI Enablement Through Human Skills: New Learning-Focused AI Center of Excellence to Help Organizations Advance from AI Experimentation to Measurable Business Performance

Published

By

AXIOM Learning Solutions, experts in workforce skills development, introduces new focus to support AI enablement strategy and workforce capability development to help organizations focus and realize value from AI investments.

WESTBOROUGH, Mass., June 11, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — AXIOM Learning Solutions (AXIOM) today announced the launch of a specialized practice area focused on helping organizations address one of the most common and difficult challenges of the AI era: turning AI activity into sustained capability.

“Using AI tools doesn’t necessarily create value. We’re focused on the skills development and performance support that’s needed to make AI a practical and measurable contributor to business performance.”

The AXIOM AI Center of Excellence addresses the reality of AI adoption: in many cases, employees are using AI tools, teams are piloting new processes and new applications, and leaders are making budget decisions with AI enablement in mind. But many companies lack the structure, workforce readiness, implementation support, and iterative improvement structures necessary to show meaningful value from AI investments. Through this team, AXIOM assists organizations in closing the gap between AI initiatives, human skills, and business goals, with skills development and workforce learning services that meet companies wherever they are on their AI journey.

“People everywhere are using AI, but use of the tools doesn’t necessarily create value,” explained AXIOM partner Jason Ruff. “The real opportunity is helping the workforce to use AI effectively and responsibly in the ways that add the most value to the business. Our AI enablement practice is designed to focus on the skills and support that are needed to make AI a more practical and measurable contributor to business performance.”

The AI Center of Excellence builds on AXIOM’s established strengths in learning and development contingent staffing, strategic consulting, custom learning content, and training delivery. Through the new offering, AXIOM will support clients in four core areas:

AI needs assessment: Identify current AI activity, readiness gaps, workforce capability needs, and opportunities for business impact.

Prioritization and roadmap support: Help leaders focus on the AI use cases and initiatives which have the most compelling and likely effect on productivity, quality, decision-making, or other operational performance metrics.

Workforce enablement and skills development: Creating role-based training, learning content, workshops, playbooks, job aids, and other performance support to help employees use AI confidently and productively.

Implementation support, measurement, and iteration: Provide expert consultants to support learning program delivery, measurement, and to identify further opportunities to improve AI enablement over time.

AXIOM Learning Solutions is a learning services organization, and as such, the AI Center of Excellence is not a technology-driven offering. Instead, the approach centers on business performance and human skills, which is the core connection needed to connect AI-enabled process into business outcomes.

“Successful adoption of AI requires more than just the tools,” said AXIOM partner Herb Blanchard. “With the AI Center of Excellence, we’re able to connect the expertise of our consultant network with companies who are focused on translating AI into a long-term and meaningful source of competitive advantage.”

AXIOM’s AI Center of Excellence is available to support organizations of all sizes, in any industry, and at any stage of AI adoption. Services may be delivered as targeted consulting engagements, training and enablement initiatives, content development projects, implementation support, staff augmentation, or ongoing AI enablement support.
