A surgical clip may be configured to ligate tissue. The surgical clip may include first and second leg members. The first leg member may have a proximal portion, a distal portion, a convex first inner surface, and a convex first outer surface. The first leg member may also include an inner portion at least partially defining the first inner surface and an outer portion at least partially defining the first outer surface. The inner and outer portions may be joined at first and second portions of the first leg member and separated by a channel. The second leg member may include a proximal portion, a distal portion, a second inner surface, and a second outer surface. The first and second leg members may be movable relative to each other between open and closed configurations, and the first and second inner surfaces may be configured to ligate the tissue when in the closed configuration.

A method of closing a wound includes providing a first bridging portion comprising a first insert having at least one first eyelet, and a first upper layer of material at least partially disposed over the first insert, and a first lower layer of material disposed below the first insert, the first lower layer of material having an adhesive disposed on a first lower surface, wherein the first insert, the first upper layer and the first lower layer form three zones of different elasticity and stiffness than others of the zones.

The present disclosure relates to a two-component medical device for closing a wound or incision. The two-component device comprising a first and second component, each comprising an adhesive-backed anchoring member having one edge referred to as the wound edge. The adhesive-backed anchoring members are produced from a polymeric film sheet. Disclosed are instances wherein the adhesive-backed anchoring members are characterized by the presence of one or more discontinuities in the polymeric film sheet.

A strap tie includes a body including a receiving channel and a strap engagement member. The receiving channel extends through the body. The receiving channel is configured to receive a remote strap. The engagement member is configured to engage a movement restriction member of the remote strap to prevent translation of the remote strap away from the body. The strap extends from the body. The strap includes a proximal end attached to the body, a distal end opposite the proximal end, and a plurality of movement restriction members. The rotational element of the body is configured to removably couple to a base to allow the strap tie to rotate relative to the base.

The present invention provides a band for surgical wound suture including a first band having a first left band and a first right band and a second band located above the first band and having a second left band and a second right band, in which the first left band is connected to the second right band, and the second right band is connected to the first left band. The band for surgical wound suture of the present invention provides advantages that an incision may be sutured by a simple operation of pulling the left and right bands to the left and right and attaching them, a feeling of heterogeneity after a suturing procedure may be minimized with a suturing device having a small volume and having almost no hard parts, and furthermore, the incision may be joined and firmly fixed by a wide and sturdy joint joined to both sides of the incision.

A strap tie assembly includes a first strap tie including a first base, a first body including a first receiving channel and a first engagement member, and a first strap extending from the first body. The assembly includes a second strap tie including a second base, a second body including a second receiving channel and a second engagement member, and a second strap extending from the second body. The first receiving channel can receive the second strap. The first engagement member can rotate about a first rotation axis to engage the second strap to prevent translation of the second strap away from the first body. The second receiving channel can receive the first strap. The second engagement member can rotate about a second rotational axis to engage the first strap to prevent translation of the first strap away from the second body.

Novel compositions and systems for closure of wounds are disclosed. The compositions provide devices of improved flexibility and elasticity and are readily applied to wound sites or over wound closure devices. The present invention is also directed to a novel platinum catalyst for use in such compositions. The catalyst provides for rapid curing on topical surfaces such as skin and bonds to such surfaces in about 2-5 minutes.

A wound closure system includes a device having a first main body and a second main body. Each of the first main body and the second main body has an adhesive backing. The first main body is coupled to the second main body by an adjustable connector. The adjustable connector is permitted to move in a single direction. In the event of an injury, the first and second main bodies are placed on opposite sides of a wound and are then pulled together, thereby sealing the wound.

This disclosure describes devices, systems, and methods related to a wound closure device. An example of a wound closure device includes a plurality of base members configured to adhere to a tissue site and one or more attachment members for use in combination to create mechanical tension on the edges of a wound to facilitate closure of the wound. The plurality of base members include a first base member that includes light switchable adhesive. The light switchable adhesive is configured to transition from a first state to a second state, and the light switchable adhesive has a first peel strength in the first state that is greater than a second peel strength of the light switchable in the second state. The one or more attachment members are configured to couple to two or more base members of the plurality of base members.

A compression device for compressing an area of tissue surrounding a tissue opening to close the tissue opening. The device includes a compression support frame having an outer peripheral edge forming an arc whose central angle is less than 180° and greater than 45°. The device also includes a compression support and a tension member. The compression support is mounted on the compression support frame, and the tension member is selectively slidable in relation to the compression support.
