Little to no pain upon application. Eliminates requirement for local anesthesia.
As easy and fast to apply as a bandage. Minimal training and procedure preparation needed. Can be applied by a broad range of healthcare personnel.
Much faster than using sutures – 7x faster as shown in KitoTech clinical studies. Significantly shortens procedure times.
Secure Wound Closure
Similar holding strength to sutures documented in pre-clinical studies.
Tight wound seal upon closure, which has the potential to reduce risk of infection.
Able to remain in place for up to 14 days.
Improved Patient Experience with microMend
Minimal to no pain upon application and removal.
Comfortable while being worn.
Great for children because it is painless and takes only a few seconds to apply.
Can be used to close wounds in elderly and chronically ill patients with fragile skin. Excellent results in closing skin tears.
Better cosmetic results as demonstrated in clinical studies, which is due to less inflammation and tissue damage that causes scarring.
Convenient and economical for patients. Patients can remove microMend eliminating one of the major reasons for a return clinic visit.
Reduced Procedure Costs
Less total material costs than for many suture closure procedures. No need for local anesthesia, suture tray, and removal kit.
Rapid application translates into shorter procedures which can save operating costs of facilities. Higher throughput means more patients can be treated increasing revenues.
Simple application makes it feasible for other practitioners, including Nurse Practitioners, PAs, RNs, and nursing assistants to perform wound closure.
Potential to eliminate local anesthesia shortens overall time of procedure.
Easier for treating child lacerations, which reduces time and resources required for pediatric cases.
Potential to eliminate return clinic visit since patient is able to remove microMend.
