Surgical Skin Stapler for Colorectal Surgery Wound Closure

Stapler-assisted surgical procedures generally report high success rates, with outcomes influenced by device precision, tissue handling, and closure technique. SubQ It! subcuticular staplers enhance wound closure success by reducing infection risk through subcutaneous placement, eliminating external puncture sites, and providing consistent, reproducible closures 7X faster than manual sutures.

No. SubQ It! fasteners are made from a bioabsorbable polymer that is naturally absorbed by the body during the healing process. This eliminates the need for a follow-up removal appointment, reduces patient discomfort, and lowers overall post-operative care costs for healthcare facilities.

SubQ It! staplers are FDA 510(k) cleared (K131563) for closing incisions in abdominal, thoracic, gynecologic, orthopedic, plastic, and reconstructive surgery. They are also widely used for laparoscopic trocar incision closure, Cesarean sections, inguinal hernia repair, and laparoscopic cholecystectomy procedures.

The SU-10 comes preloaded with 10 bioabsorbable fasteners and is designed for incisions up to 10 cm, ideal for small laparoscopic and MIS trocar sites. The SU-25 is loaded with 25 fasteners and handles incisions up to 25 cm, making it suited for larger abdominal or open surgical incisions requiring extended wound closure.

Unlike metal staples that pierce external skin and leave characteristic train-track scars, SubQ It! fasteners are placed subcuticularly — beneath the skin surface — using two small retractable needles. This means external skin is never pierced, significantly reducing visible scarring and improving cosmetic outcomes for patients across all compatible procedures.

Distribution support and opportunities are also available for healthcare systems and medical distributors seeking to add the product to their portfolio.
