Does the device require a prescription to purchase?

For a non-prescription option, DermaQuik is the over-the-counter version of DermaClip, available to anyone at DermaQuik.com. It's ideal for first aid kits and can be used by anyone, anytime skin needs to be closed.

Does the device contain latex?

DermaClip does not contain natural rubber latex.

Should adhesive enhancers be used in conjunction with DermaClip?

DermaClip uses a top-of-the-line, long-duration, pressure-sensitive alkylate-based adhesive - adhesive enhancers are not required for typical use. That said, enhancers can be used if preferred or if your protocol calls for them. If using enhancers on patients with fragile or aging skin, exercise caution: enhancers may increase adhesion beyond what fragile skin can tolerate and could cause damage upon removal.
