A Needle-Free Solution for Wound Closure

Traditional methods of wound closure, such as sutures and staples, can be invasive and require professional medical intervention.

Clozex Medical, based in Franklin, Massachusetts, has developed a solution: adhesive skin closure devices designed to approximate wound edges without penetrating the skin.​

How It Works

Clozex closures utilize an interlaced locking design that aligns skin edges in three dimensions. The device is applied topically, pulling wound edges together to facilitate healing. This method eliminates the need for needles, reducing the risk of needle-stick injuries and minimizing patient discomfort.​

Clinical and Personal Applications

Initially developed for use in surgical settings, emergency rooms, and urgent care centers, Clozex closures have been cleared for over-the-counter use. They are available in various sizes to accommodate different wound lengths and can be found in retail locations such as CVS.

The devices are individually packaged and sterile, making them suitable for inclusion in first aid kits for home, travel, or outdoor activities.
