DermaClip
Skin Closure Devices
The Regular Clip provides the medical professional tremendous flexibility in closing the skin, whether the incision or wound is large or small. The Large Clip gives the doctor an additional option in closing larger and longer wounds as well as wounds under tension.
Devices are packaged targeting a 1″ or 3″ closure, regarldess of clip size. Multiple packages can
be used to achieve any desired length of closure.

DermaClip Instructions for Use
APPLYING DERMACLIP® IS AS SIMPLE AS “PICK, PLACE & PULL”
Full instructions are set out in the Instructions for Use (IFU) that is available online and are included with every purchase of DermaClip®. CLICK FOR FULL INSTRUCTIONSOptimizing Wound Closure, Save Time and Reduce Cost
Simple & Effective Application Process
Pick
Select a DermaClip®, pinch the pull tabs towards the center, then lift it off of the backing paper.
1
Place
Still holding by the clip by the pull tabs, center it across the wound, place it on the skin, and smooth the adhesive on either side. Repeat steps 1 & 2 placing clips 1 to 4mm apart until the wound is covered.
2
Pull
To close, pull the tabs OUT until a locking “click” is heard. For best results, pull the tabs DOWN towards the skin in an OUT-ward direction. Pulling UP pulls the device off the skin, diminishing the adhesive bond.*
3
Cut Tabs
For convenience and comfort, remove the tabs with set of sterile scissors and cover the wound.
4
VISUAL LOCKING CONFIRMATION
To provide a visual aid to support the warning on locking, the image shows the different positions as the device is closed.
When locked properly, the angled faces of the DermaClip® device have made contact and then forced each other into an upward, everted position.
Open
Tabs have not been pulled closed
NOT LOCKED
Gates have not snapped closed. Gap between faces, not in full contact
PROPERLY LOCKED
No gap, faces in full contact Full eversion has occured Gates have snapped closed
* Important note on use:
There is a first resistance as the device is initially pulled closed that then releases. THIS IS NOT THE LOCKING OF THE DEVICE! It is very important to the proper functioning of the device that the click occurs after the two edges of the device have made contact and then forced each other, and the attached skin, into an upward position. Only then will the device be closed and locked shut.

DermaClip Sizes
4 Options for DermaClip® are Currently Available
DermaClip® is currently offered in two sizes, Regular & Large, and two target closure lengths, 1 inch and 3 inches. Having two distinct sizes allows medical professionals to select the properly sized device for the particular requirements of each skin closure, gaining the benefits of the DermaClip® device without regard to the size of the clip used. With two target lengths, stack together any combination of packages to get to the right closure length, while avoiding excess cost or waste.. GET DERMACLIP

An Innovative Advance in Non-invasive Wound Closure: A New Paradigm
Injury is the leading health and readiness threat to the armed forces, with two million instances per year; therefore, innovating wound care solutions can help improve readiness. The DermaClip Skin Closure Device is a new, non-invasive, painless, and easy-to-apply wound closure device that does not require either needles or painful anesthesia injections or create additional damage to the wounded area. The efficacy of the device was tested in a 120-patient trial, composed of 60 experimental cases and 60 control cases. The trial of the DermaClip device demonstrated the device’s efficacy in meeting the needs of clinical applications. Additionally, the experimental group had no adverse events in the product safety test. The efficacy of the device coupled with the features of ease of use and limited requirements for application make this a wound closure device particularly applicable to the emergency and battlefield setting.

Case Report:A Recent Advance in the Closure of Skin Wounds on Fragile Skin
Emergency department healthcare providers are frequently faced with elderly patients presenting with a traumatic skin tear or soft tissue avulsion. Attempts at closure of these types of wounds often result in worsening of the tears or injury to the elevated flap because the skin and soft tissue are so fragile. Many methods have been devised but have been essentially unsuccessful.

Evaluation of a Novel Skin Closure Device at the Time of Cesarean Section
OBJECTIVE: To compare the DermaClip non-invasive skin closure device to subcuticular skin closure at the time of cesarean delivery.
STUDY DESIGN: This was a prospective randomized pilot study of 32 patients undergoing cesarean section. All patients signed an institutional review board–approved informed consent to participate in the study. The primary outcome was operative time for the skin closure.
