Absorbable surgical staples solve problems
Patients scheduled for surgery have one less thing to worry about when their doctors use the INSORB ® Skin Stapler system, which promotes comfortable wound healing without a return visit to get metal staples pried out. Minnesota-based Incisive Surgical Incorporated introduced the INSORB Subcuticular Skin Stapler in 2005, melding the absorbable properties of modern sutures with the easy-to-install technique associated with metal skin staples. The INSORB staples are placed just under the skin, holding incisions together long enough for natural healing to take place. The staples are then absorbed over time. Founded in 2001, Incisive Surgical has won several awards for its innovative product, including the 2006 Wall Street Journal Technology Innovation of the Year Award. T
