INSORB® Absorbable Skin Staples INSORB staples are placed entirely underneath the surface layer of skin (epidermis). These staples offer clinical benefits, are cost-effective2, and highly patient-centric. Wound care for c-section patients with absorbable staples is similar to care for conventional incision closures, and may even have fewer complications.3 ✔ Rapid, simple closure ✔ May reduce operative time vs. subcuticular sutures1 Clinical evidence suggests that incisions closed with INSORB staples are lowmaintenance wounds that may: ✔ Eliminates percutaneous insult ✔ Improved comfort & cosmesis • liminate percutaneous insult E ✔ May result in less pain immediately post-op in c-sections2 • Improve patient comfort & cosmesis • Result in less pain immediately post-op in c-sections2 ✔ No percutaneous metal staple removal ✔ No suture knots • emonstrate evidence of reduced D wound complications vs. metal staples in c-sections3 INSORB staples offer enhanced cosmesis – less obvious scarring – with no “railroad track” scars, and no need for metal staple removal.

Absorbable Skin Staples Overview Interrupted Closure Eliminates Percutaneous Insults The INSORB Absorbable Skin Stapler is a subcuticular, interrupted closure modality that is designed to create uniform, symmetric dermis-to-dermis closures. INSORB staples create an interrupted closure that allows for natural immediate drainage. Incisions closed with INSORB do not have the numerous skin perforations of metal skin staples. Features of Absorbable Skin Staples • Rapid, patient-centric skin closure • May reduce operative time vs. subcuticular sutures¹ • Eliminates percutaneous insult • May result...
