FDA Approved Easy Wound Closure, Saves Time, Provides Better Patient Outcomes.
Medizip is a non-invasive wound closure technology that was originally conceived in order to simplify the process of wound closure in such a way as to eliminate the need for sutures, thus reducing the chance of suture channel infections and minimizing scarring. While it was originally intended for surgical and clinical use, Medizip is so easy to use that it has found a place in first responder and first aid kits for school nurses.
The power of Medizip lies in its brilliant simplicity: the Medizip device consists of a sterile zipper with an adhesive backing. After cleaning and drying the wound, simply unzip the device, adhere the bottom of each half of the zipper to one side of the wound, and simply zip the wound closed. The edges of the skin at the incision site are merged together to ensure the healing process, and the zipper will not work loose. Sub-cutaneous sutures are still recommended for deep incisions before attaching Medizip. Medizip is typically left in place for 7 to 10 days, and it can be removed by the patient at home by peeling off the closed zipper.
Medizip is very cost effective, and it can save vast amounts of time for doctors, nurses, and operating room staff.
Advantages of MediZip
· Reduction in the length of operations and time spent under anesthesia. No manual assistance or special instruments required.
· Significantly reduced risk of infection due to the elimination of retrograde infection routes, e.g., suture channels.
· No mechanical irritation in the wound opening.
· Painless removal of the MediZip from the skin wound after 7 – 11 days, without the necessity for special instruments.
· Short learning phase for new users - implementation possible by surgical support staff
· The MediZip can also be used for the closure of curved wounds
· As this is a disposable product, the time required for the cleaning and re-sterilisation of the customary instruments is dispensed with.
Medizip is available in two sizes: 12 cm and 24 cm, and the devices can be cut to length for shorter wounds or overlapped for longer wounds. This makes Medizip suitable for closing virtually any laceration with minimal scarring, including Caesarean sections, orthopedic implant procedures, and any other surgical procedure where there is not a sharp bend or curve.
