A New Approach to
​Wound Closure

Experience a new wound closure device that is as effective as sutures and as fast and easy to apply as a bandage. It delivers superior clinical results and improved patient experience while reducing procedure costs.

​microMend incorporates the key features needed for optimal wound closure. It is designed like a butterfly bandage so it can be applied easily and painlessly in seconds. Microstaples allow the device to achieve the holding strength of sutures. microMend can close wounds up to 50 cm in length and is effective in closing all types of lacerations including those with jagged edges. It is also gentle enough to be applied on fragile skin in the elderly and chronically ill. microMend is highly effective in closing skin tears that cannot be treated with sutures or other wound closure products.

Two Ways to Use microMend

Without Other Wound Closure Products

• Primary skin closure of incisions that do not extend below the upper dermis.
• To extend the duration of closure security after suture or staple removal.

In Combination with Suture or Staples

• Closure of the upper skin layer in which sutures or staples were used for closure of deeper skin layers (e.g. deep dermis).
  
• Skin closure as adjunct to sutures or staples for wounds under high tension.
