Bioabsorbable Skin Closure for Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery

Yes. SubQ It! is FDA 510(k) cleared (K131563) specifically for use in plastic and reconstructive surgery, among other surgical categories. The bioabsorbable fasteners are placed subcuticularly, never piercing external skin, which minimizes scarring — a critical consideration in aesthetic and reconstructive procedures.

Each bioabsorbable fastener deploys in approximately 7 seconds, compared to 42 seconds per manual stitch. This makes SubQ It! roughly 7X faster than traditional suturing. The SU-10 handles incisions up to 10 cm, while the SU-25 handles incisions up to 25 cm with its 25-fastener preloaded device.

No. Unlike metal staples or non-absorbable sutures, SubQ It! fasteners are made from a bioabsorbable polymer that is naturally absorbed by the body as the wound heals. This eliminates the need for a secondary removal visit, reduces patient discomfort, and removes the costs associated with staple removal procedures.

SubQ It! offers two models: the SU-10 with 10 fasteners for incisions up to 10 cm, ideal for laparoscopic trocar sites and smaller incisions; and the SU-25 with 25 fasteners for incisions up to 25 cm, suited for larger abdominal, orthopedic, or reconstructive procedures. Both are FDA cleared and preloaded for immediate use.

Yes. SubQ It! is manufactured under an ISO 13485 registered quality management system, which is the internationally recognized standard for medical device manufacturing. The product is also FDA 510(k) cleared and complies with applicable bioabsorbable medical device safety standards, ensuring consistent quality and regulatory compliance.

SubQ It! products are available for purchase in the USA and globally. Pricing is available on request by contacting the sales team directly.
