DermaClip is a revolutionary, new non-invasive skin closure device that 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. The patented non-invasive design of DermaClip is designed to evert the skin on every closure to promote healthy healing and is quick and easy-to-use. The device is achieving a new standa
rd of wound closure, while enhancing ease of use, safety and outcome. Put simply, the goal of the DermaClip is to eliminate trade-offs in skin closure between time of closure and quality of patient care. The 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 hypo-allergenic, alkylate-based adhesive to a ratchet mechanism so as to lift the skin in the closure process and evert it. Just a few minutes of simple training allows even lesser-trained staff to achieve proper wound closure, allowing DermaClip to benefit even more patients. Simply pick the DermaClip device off its backing; place it across the approximated edges of the wound; and pull it until you hear it “click” shut. For patient comfort and convenience, a dressing can be applied over the closed DermaClip devices using normal procedures. DermaClip is made of top of the line, hypoallergenic, long-duration adhesive. The adhesive is strong enough to effectively maintain wound closure for 7 to 10 days while remaining gentile enough for use on fragile skin. The device is latex-free.
