Simple & Effective Application Process
Pick
Select a DermaClip®, pinch the pull tabs towards the center, then lift it off of the backing paper.
1
Place
Still holding by the clip by the pull tabs, center it across the wound, place it on the skin, and smooth the adhesive on either side. Repeat steps 1 & 2 placing clips 1 to 4mm apart until the wound is covered.
2
Pull
Update copy to: To close, pull the tabs OUT until a locking “click” is heard. For best results, pull the tabs DOWN towards the skin in an OUT-ward direction. Pulling UP pulls the device off the skin, diminishing the adhesive bond.*
3
Cut Tabs
For convenience and comfort, remove the tabs with set of sterile scissors and cover the wound.

* Important note on use:
There is a first resistance as the device is initially pulled closed that then releases. THIS IS NOT THE LOCKING OF THE DEVICE! It is very important to the proper functioning of the device that the click occurs after the two edges of the device have made contact and then forced each other, and the attached skin, into an upward position. Only then will the device be closed and locked shut.
DermaClip Sizes
4 Options for DermaClip® are Currently Available
DermaClip® is currently offered in two sizes, Regular & Large, and two target closure lengths, 1 inch and 3 inches. Having two distinct sizes allows medical professionals to select the properly sized device for the particular requirements of each skin closure, gaining the benefits of the DermaClip® device without regard to the size of the clip used. With two target lengths, stack together any combination of packages to get to the right closure length, while avoiding excess cost or waste.. GET DERMACLIP

An Innovative Advance in Non-invasive Wound Closure: A New Paradigm
Injury is the leading health and readiness threat to the armed forces, with two million instances per year; therefore, innovating wound care solutions can help improve readiness. The DermaClip Skin Closure Device is a new, non-invasive, painless, and easy-to-apply wound closure device that does not require either needles or painful anesthesia injections or create additional damage to the wounded area. The efficacy of the device was tested in a 120-patient trial, composed of 60 experimental cases and 60 control cases. The trial of the DermaClip device demonstrated the device’s efficacy in meeting the needs of clinical applications. Additionally, the experimental group had no adverse events in the product safety test. The efficacy of the device coupled with the features of ease of use and limited requirements for application make this a wound closure device particularly applicable to the emergency and battlefield setting.
