Wound Closure

Wound closure is used for wounds whose edges gape. Bringing the wound edges together promotes healing and reduces the risk of infection. The method chosen depends on the type of tissue, size, and location of the wound.

Surgical Suture Wound Closure

Suturing the wound edges using a surgical needle and specialised thread is the classic method of wound closure. It is universally applicable and, when performed correctly by a surgeon, ensures rapid and uncomplicated healing.

Sutures are divided into absorbable and non-absorbable types. Depending on the material, they either dissolve on their own or must be removed by a physician after a certain period. Sutures are also categorised by structure into monofilament, multifilament, and pseudo-monofilament threads, which differ primarily in handling and knot security.

At Praxisdienst, you will find a wide selection of absorbable and non-absorbable sutures ready-to-use as needle-and-thread combinations for surgical applications.

Wound Closure with Skin Stapler

For long wounds where cosmetic considerations are minimal, a skin stapler offers a fast closure method. The device functions similarly to a stapler and can close even large wounds quickly, making it ideal for long surgical incisions. In this category, you will find sterile skin staplers for single or multiple use, as well as compatible skin stapler cartridges at competitive prices.

Wound Closure with Tissue Adhesive

With skin glue, smooth, superficial wounds in mechanically low-stress areas can be closed easily. The adhesive is applied directly to the wound, causing no additional trauma or scarring, unlike sutures or staples. It is especially suitable for children, offering a painless closure without the need for anaesthesia. Many tissue adhesives are also enhanced with antibacterial agents to protect against infection.

Praxisdienst offers a range of tissue adhesives for rapid, pain-free closure of wounds up to 5 cm in length.

Wound Closure with Adhesive Strips

Adhesive wound closure strips are ideal for small, superficial wounds where suturing is unnecessary or difficult. The strips are applied to keep the wound edges loosely approximated and can be removed easily after a few days. At Praxisdienst, you will find Steri-Strips in various sizes at competitive prices.
