QuikZip

Lacerations are usually closed with sutures or staples. QuikZip closes them without either: adhesive anchors go on along both sides of the wound, and adjustable zip straps connect them and gently pull the edges together. The device then holds the closure in place while the wound heals over the following days. We modeled the device and the wound in detail and walked through each step, from peeling the liner to tightening the straps to the healed result.
