The Staple

The INSORB Absorbable Skin Staple
is composed of a co-polymer derived
from polylactide-polyglycolide with a
well-established¹ history in wound closure.

INSORB Stapler

The patented INSORB Skin Stapler is
a sterile, single patient use device that
deploys 30 absorbable staples, sufficient
to close an incision up to 21 cm in length.

Blue Triangles

Keep the blue triangles fully covered by
the tissue. This will assist with proper
alignment of the staples and minimize
external placements.

Why INSORB?

Benefits of INSORB
vs. Suture

The INSORB skin stapler is designed to create uniform, symmetric dermis-to-dermis closures.

  • Increases skin eversion, which may improve healing and cosmesis
  • May reduce operative time²
  • May result in reduced hand fatigue
  • Eliminates risk of needlestick injuries at the time of closure

Benefits of INSORB
vs. Metal Staples

The INSORB skin stapler eliminates the percutaneous insult created by metal skin staples.

  • Eliminates the pain and discomfort of percutaneous metal skin staples and potential “railroad track” scars
  • Evidence of reduced wound complications vs. metal staples³
  • Eliminates cost, patient inconvenience, anxiety and discomfort associated with percutaneous metal staple removal
