Wound Closure

The Market

Micro injection molded wound healing solutions may be used for various procedures and tissue types. 

Needs & Challenges

To improve functionality, wound closure designs often require ultra-crisp features with minimal flash allowance, along with minimal inherent viscosity (IV) loss for bioabsorbable applications.

Bioabsorbable Fastener

The bioabsorbable fastener has two hollow legs connected by a flexible “bridge” and features sharp tips. MTD achieved an IV loss of less than 4%.
