Introducing the MediZip

The MediZip is a modern  wound closure which was conceived by Prof. Dr. Kaeßmann. Suture channels and staple perforations can be dispensed with when the MediZip is used to close wounds.

A highly antiallergic plaster is used for the MediZip. By closing the slider of the zipper, the sides of the wound are brought together to ensure an very un-disturb healing process. for further details please check the instruction.
