Skin Closure Stapler for Bariatric Surgery Incisions

Skin incision healing typically takes 2–4 weeks depending on the patient's health, incision size, and surgical technique. SubQ It! bioabsorbable fasteners support subcuticular closure without external skin piercing, which can promote faster, cleaner healing and minimize scarring. The fasteners are designed to be absorbed by the body during the natural healing process, with no removal procedure needed.

The SubQ It! stapler is FDA-cleared for closing incisions in abdominal, thoracic, gynecologic, orthopedic, plastic, and reconstructive surgery. It is also suitable for laparoscopic trocar incisions, Cesarean sections, inguinal hernia repairs, and laparoscopic cholecystectomy procedures across minimally invasive and open surgical settings.

The SU-10 contains 10 bioabsorbable fasteners and is designed for incisions up to 10 cm in length, making it ideal for trocar sites and small laparoscopic incisions. The SU-25 contains 25 fasteners and accommodates incisions up to 25 cm, suited for larger abdominal or open surgical closures. Both deploy at 7 seconds per fastener and are pre-sterilized.

Yes. SubQ It! holds FDA 510(k) clearance (K131563) for use in abdominal, thoracic, gynecologic, orthopedic, plastic, and reconstructive surgery. The device is manufactured at an ISO 13485 registered facility and complies with bioabsorbable medical device safety standards. Each unit ships pre-sterilized and sealed in a foil laminate pouch.

Subcuticular placement means the fasteners are inserted beneath the skin surface without piercing the outer epidermis. This avoids the stitch marks and 'train track' scarring commonly associated with percutaneous metal staples. Because the skin surface remains intact, the cosmetic result is significantly improved, particularly relevant for bariatric and abdominal surgery patients.
