The DermaClip^® non-invasive skin closure device allows for the quick and easy closure of surface wounds and the final stage of surgical incisions with no puncturing or crushing of the skin. This needle-free alternative to sutures, surgical staples and skin glues is designed to evert the skin on every closure to promote healthy healing while being quick, safe and easy-to-use.

DermaClip has broad range

Winner of an R&D 100 Award in 2020 for Outstanding Innovation, DermaClip^® is achieving a new standard of wound closure and has been used successfully to close a broad range of wounds and surgical incisions.

The device has been used in place of sutures, medical staples or skin glues in a wide range of venues, from the operating or emergency room to out in the field. DermaClip^® presents an attractive solution to reduce closure time while eliminating needle-stick risk and skin punctures.

It's time to try the DermaClip^® non-invasive approach to wound closure.

Just a few minutes of simple training allows even lesser-trained staff to achieve proper wound closure, allowing DermaClip^® to benefit even more patients. The DermaClip^® application process is as simple as "Pick, Place and Pull." Simply, Pick the device off the backing paper; pinch approximate the wound and Place the device; and Pull the tabs closed. Simple, quick and no danger of needle stick injuries (NSIs).

Surgeons just being introduced to the device were able to make final skin closure for an approximately 3-inch surgical incision in less than 2 minutes (as seen in the video on the DermaClip^® Device page). With experience and proper technique, even better results can be achieved.

The speed of the device makes it perfect for applications ranging from emergency scenarios all the way to final skin closure in the operating room. Additionally, the non-invasive nature of the device allows it to be removed without damaging the wound; therefore, the DermaClip^® device can also be used as a temporary closure where additional follow-up treatment is required.

The DermaClip^® device is a single-use, non-invasive, needle-less skin closure device that is designed to achieve full eversion on each skin closure. This is accomplished through a patented design that incorporates a plastic structures that mates a "Living Hinge" sandwiched between two layers of alkylate-based adhesive to a ratchet mechanism so as to lift the skin in the closure process and evert it.

Versatile Enough for Most Wounds

The fact that the DermaClip^® devices are segmented into individual units makes the device extremely versatile for closing wounds. The Large DermaClip^® is perfect for a long, straight incisions. The Regular DermaClip^® device has a more slender profile, making it ideal for situations where wounds have curvature, are smaller, or need more precise skin edge approximation.

Strong Enough to Hold, yet gentle

DermaClip^® is made of top-of-the-line, non-latex, long-duration adhesive. The adhesive is strong enough to effectively maintain wound closure for 7 to 10 days while remaining gentle enough for most skin. The design of the device spreads the tension of the closure across the entire pad.

The goal of the DermaClip^® device is to eliminate trade-offs in skin closure between time of closure and quality of patient care. The DermaClip^® device's ability to be used generally in skin closure on all types of skin enables the device to be one of the most complete closure solutions on the market.
