Using Incision Assist Across Devices: What’s the Difference Between App and Web?
Incision Assist is built to support perioperative teams throughout their day, whether they’re prepping at a workstation, reviewing a case on a tablet, or catching up at home. That’s why the platform is available in two connected formats: the Incision Assist App and Incision Assist Web.
Both formats share the same intuitive layout, rich content, and secure access. But each is designed to support different workflows and different moments in the day.
Here’s how they compare.
The App (Mobile & Tablet): Built for Flexibility
The mobile and tablet app gives team members quick, on-the-go access to surgical workflows, surgeon preferences, OR setup visuals, and bite-sized learning content. It’s a natural fit during breaks, at home before a shift, or between cases when time is tight. Users can also add personal notes linked to specific procedures and specialists, helping them retain what matters most in a fast-paced environment. It supports individual learning and confidence-building throughout the day.
Many teams use the app just outside the OR, in adjacent spaces like control rooms or break areas, where it becomes a fast, trusted reference point that fits naturally into the rhythm of the shift, all without disrupting protocols.
The Web (Desktop & Laptop): For Deep Dives or Team Discussions
The web version is optimized for desktop and laptop use and supports a range of workflows. Some users rely on it privately to review details ahead of a case or explore updates in depth. Others use it during briefings or room setup, where a larger screen allows teams to align using detailed visuals and shared protocols.
Assist can also be displayed on OR monitors or nearby wall-mounted screens, providing a central reference for everyone involved in the case. With key materials and setup visuals accessible at a glance, it helps maintain alignment and flow throughout the day.

Seamless Across All Devices
Incision Assist App and Web are fully connected. The content is consistent, custom to your OR, and instantly updated across both versions. Whether reviewing a new device guide or preparing for a less familiar case, teams can switch between formats without missing a step.
Importantly, the platform does not store or process any patient-identifiable information (PHI). It is securely hosted, HIPAA-compliant, and often integrated unidirectionally with hospital systems to streamline workflows without adding IT complexity.
Supporting Confidence from Anywhere
By offering two ways to access the same critical knowledge, Incision Assist adapts to the unique rhythms of surgical teams. It supports preparation at home, alignment during huddles, and quick access during busy shifts—all without duplicating effort.
Whether accessed via the app or the web, Assist ensures that perioperative professionals can walk into any procedure feeling informed, calm, and confident.
