“High tension closure of surgical wounds increase risk of impairing the microcirculation surrounding the wound, and can cause tissue strangulation. Expanding the tissue around the wound increases good vascularization, supporting and strengthening wounds until healing increases the tissue tensile strength.

DermaClose Tissue Expander supports the closure and releases the tension, significantly reducing risk of dehiscence due to poor cutaneous circulation caused by a high tension closure, and other risk such as, obesity, lung disease, smoking, and poor nutrition.”

“DermaClose is an important tool in my surgeon toolbox. It is very effective for closing wounds as well as helping to close or stabilize troubled wounds. It is also very effective for offloading high-tension wounds. DermaClose works well all over the body including the scalp. My experience with this product has been excellent.

DermaClose has been an important addition to my practice and I highly recommend it to other surgeons in multiple specialties.”
