How the Skin Closure Device Works
The basic concept is to support the skin on both sides of the wound while reducing localized tension. Adhesive sections are placed on the surrounding skin, and the adjustment structure helps bring the wound edges closer together and maintain their position. The actual method of use depends on the wound, product specification and clinical judgment.
A skin closure device is a medical device, not an ordinary adhesive strip. Suitability depends on wound depth, location, skin condition, infection risk and the procedure performed. Clinical use should follow the official instructions for use and the judgment of qualified healthcare professionals.
