Zipstitch for sale skin closure wound stitch device

Product Description

The Zipstitch device is a non-invasive skin closure designed to improve your recovery experience. Zipstitch Surgical Skin Closure is the world’s first adjustable, reversible and non-invasive skin closure device for surgery and lacerations. 

The Zipstitch allow the clinician to optimize tension and alignment in closing the wound without the need for stitches or staples! We have more than three types of zipstitches. It's classified to adjustable and non-adjustable due to application. Regarding to the material, it's classified with non woven waterproof, hydrocolloid, and PU film adhesive. 

Benifits

The Zipstitch device’s structure has the potential to distribute closing forces more evenly along the incision compared to staples and subcuticular sutures. We found the wound closure using Zipstitch to be uniform without being too tight—which, in our view, reduces potential harm to the skin. We found that the device was easy to apply and that we could not only fix the tension, but if necessary, readjust tension later.

• Better Patient Experience – Minimize scarring and avoid causing discomfort to patient during removal. Flexible design enables greater patient range of motion during recovery.
• Adjustable and Reversible – Tension and alignment can be optimized in closing the wound. Different lengths available to accommodate the needs of size of wounds.
• Strong and Secure – It is 8x stronger than sutures, and the patented force distribution design protects the wound while keeping it securely closed, even during joint flexion.
• Efficient – Zip is 3x faster than sutures, which may decrease healthcare costs and improve hospital efficiency.

Application

Incision- We apply the Zipstitch device after applying subcutaneous sutures and achieving about a 5mm or smaller incision gap. We have found that good sub-q suture alignment makes the application and closure of the Zipstitch easier.

Skin Prep- We pull the incise barrier back from the incision and then wipe the skin dry.

Application- We center the device on the incision, and usually use one complete 16cm Zipstitch for a UKA or TKA, and cut the device shorter for THA. For longer incisions, an additional device may be applied.

Skin Closure- We tighten each tensioning strap sequentially, starting on one end of the incision, and then go back and adjust individual straps as needed. Although we have not needed to use this, each strap can be released and re-engaged if it is over-tightened. We then cut the strap ends to prevent tampering or catching on dressing or clothing. We usually achieve slight eversion of the incision.

Dressing- The incision is exposed in the center of the device, enabling an absorptive dressing placed on top to collect wound exudate. We use an absorptive pad over the device, taking care not to allow the dressing adhesive to contact the device.

Removal- Our patients usually come back for follow-up and Zipstitch removal at POD 14. It is peeled off like a dressing.
