Risk Assessment
Dedicated to new beginnings
Using the Risk Assessment tool by Mölnlycke.
Inadequate incision care leads to increased surgical site complications (SSC's) and additional pain for high-risk patients. It results in slower recovery times, longer hospital stays and higher costs for healthcare services already under pressure.
At Mölnlycke, our aim is to give patients the best chance of recovery, without complications. Which is why we developed a risk assessment tool to support healthcare professionals identify and mitigate for surgical risk factors and create tailored incision care treatment pathways for patients on an individual basis

The Risk Assessment Tool is described in the publication “The Simplified Surgical Site Event Risk Assessment (SSERA) Model” which was published in Wounds International in 2023.
The background research and development of the risk assessment tool described in this publication were conducted by the SSERA Group, chaired by R. Morgan-Jones, Consultant Orthopaedic Surgon. The SSERA Group consists of 9 consultants paid by Molnlycke Health Care AB. Although a Molnlycke employee was involved in the background research, Molnlycke has not controlled (or regulated) the research carried out by the members of the SSERA Group
