DERMACLOSE Continuous External Tissue Expander

DERMACLOSE Continuous External Tissue Expander


The DERMACLOSE device is a sterile continuous external tissue expander that facilitates rapid tissue movement to reduce or reapproximate wounds. The DERMACLOSE XL device model contains 29.25 cm more line than the standard DERMACLOSE device and is intended for large wounds that are greater than 8 cm in width. After the initial application has been completed the DERMACLOSE device does not require any additional tightening. Depending on the location and size of the wound, one or more DERMACLOSE device may be left in place for hours to fourteen (14) days to provide the needed tissue expansion. Once the desired tissue expansion has occurred the device(s) can be removed and the wound can be sutured or stapled closed.
