Why Skin Closure Innovation Should Be Part of Every Hospital’s Revenue Strategy

Houston, TX – 07/14/2025. Hospitals across the country are doubling down on one thing: revenue cycle management. A recent Becker’s Hospital Review article highlights 18 health systems that have recently appointed new vice presidents specifically to oversee revenue cycle operations—a clear signal that efficiency, throughput, and financial performance are top of mind for executive leadership. But while most revenue conversations focus on billing systems, payor mix, and denials, there’s a critical—yet often overlooked—piece of the puzzle happening every day in exam rooms, trauma bays, and minor procedure suites: skin closure.

The Role of Wound Closure in Hospital Efficiency

When providers spend 15–20 minutes suturing a simple laceration—sometimes more for pediatric or geriatric patients—it adds up. Not just in time, but in cost: delayed room turnover, extended staff utilization, patient dissatisfaction, and fewer billable encounters per shift. This is where DermaClip^® devices become more than a clinical solution—they becomes a revenue enabler.

DermaClip Helps Maximize Throughput and Minimize Waste

Here’s how DermaClip supports the revenue cycle:

• Closes wounds up to 83% faster than sutures or glues, freeing up providers and rooms.
• No need for local anesthetic or follow-up appointments for removal—cutting supply and labor costs.
• Enables faster decision-to-discharge timelines, improving throughput and patient satisfaction scores.
• Eliminates complexity—application can be mastered in minutes, even by mid-level staff.
• No SSI returns for infections caused by suture or stapling percutaneous wounds.

In addition to optimizing your payments, you could also optimize your patient throughput—creating more revenue opportunities without adding staff or space.

A Simple Change with Systemwide Impact

In a landscape where hospital systems are hiring executive-level leaders just to manage revenue, small operational changes like optimizing wound closure can yield measurable financial impact. As hospitals seek smarter ways to reduce costs and increase output, DermaClip devices stand out not just as a clinical innovation—but as a strategic one.
