Skin Closure Surgical Stapler

The INSORB Absorbable Skin Stapling Technology is a groundbreaking new skin closure technology that entirely embeds an absorbable staple beneath the skin to seal surgical incisions. A more cosmetic, convenient, and comfortable option for rapid skin closure is now available to patients and clinicians. This distinctive device has been the recipient of numerous national accolades, including the 2006 Wall Street Journal Technology Innovation of the Year Award for medical devices. Since its introduction in January 2005, Incisive Surgical has sold more than 2,300,000 INSORB Absorbable Skin Staplers, making it the sole company in the world to provide this technology.
A co-polymer of polylactide-polyglycolide with a well-established history in wound closure is the foundation of the revolutionary INSORB Absorbable Skin Staple.

The INSORB Skin Stapler, a sterile, single-use device, is patented and can close an incision up to 21 cm in length with the deployment of 30 absorbable staples.
