DermaClip

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.
