Now physicians have another choice – a simple and effective way to address chronic and acute wounds. Wound Care Technologies is pleased to introduce the DermaClose® RC Continuous External Tissue Expander. This first of its kind tissue expander will help facilitate the closure of wounds by continuously expanding the skin around the wound until it has stretched enough to suture the wound edges closed or result in a much smaller wound. Larger wounds or wounds in certain areas of the body may require a few days to obtain optimal results.
Complex wounds resulting from trauma often present significant challenges. The DermaClose® RC can help clinicians respond to those challenges by reducing the need for major operative solutions.
When chronic wounds do not respond to conventional or even advanced wound management, often the treatment of last resort has been surgery or closure by primary intention. Unfortunately, such invasive surgical methods are complex, often painful for the patient, and pose significant risks factors. The DermaClose provides a simple, safe alternative.
A unique aspect of the DermaClose is that after its initial application no additional tightening is required. DermaClose® RC’s innovative tension controller applies a constant, measured pulling force of 1.2 kg as it gently expands the tissue around the wound.
This revolutionary device is safe, easy to use, and expands health care professional’s options by reducing the need for more complex procedures like flaps and skin grafts.
