Zipstitch wound closure

@RandyF
Makes two of us that have never heard of it. Great idea.
It only closes wound up to 4mm wide so I would hazard a guess it wouldn't keep a nagging wife's mouth closed. Ah well I will have to stick with duct tape for that one

Better not let her see that Bob, or you might need a thousand of them. Death by 1000 cuts is not a fun way to go out.

Wish I had shown my surgeon this before last week! Haha!

Vets will probably love that, ever tried to keep a dog still long enough to put sutures in? And if it's a cat you will need a few yourself..

I'm not known for being up on the newest latest greatest anything so it's no surprise that I haven't heard of these yet. Apparently introduced in 2018, and available everywhere it seems.

Has anyone here had the unfortunate opportunity to use one of these ? Do they perform as advertised?

If they work they will be must-have addition to everything first-aid in my world...my work, all of my hobbies, and especially in my hunting gear...I know me...I'll likely need one eventually.

I tried to buy some and they were none in stock anywhere. I wound up getting some but off brand it looks like and they took about a month to get here from Amazon! I was putting together a better first aid kit for my Alaska moose hunt later this year.

Well that's disappointing to hear. I liked the way the Clozex brand looks as well. Hopefully they are more readily available.
