Now physicians have another choice – a simple and effective way to surgically close 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 facilitate the closure of wounds up to 15 cm in diameter by continuously expanding the skin around the wound until it has stretched enough to suture the wound edges closed.  In many instances final closure can be done within as little as one hour. Larger wounds or wounds in certain areas of the body may require a day or more.

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.

Once in place and tension is applied, the DermaClose® RC requires no further adjustment. It requires no additional tightening after its initial application.  DermaClose® RC’s innovative tension controller applies a constant, measured pulling force as it gently expands the skin 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.  In addition, the DermaClose® RC has been shown to reduce the length scarring and patients report only minimal discomfort.
