Wound Care Technologies is committed to innovation in the development of products to aid in the treatment of acute and chronic wounds.

Wound closure can be facilitated through a variety of methods and modalities which have been employed with varying success. These methods are segmented into two primary categories 1) healing by secondary intention and 2) closure by surgical methods.  Healing by secondary intention can be facilitated with various modalities including negative pressure wound therapy, pulsed electromagnetic fields, ultrasound, hyperbaric therapy, growth factors and bioengineered tissue equivalents.  Even with the most diligent care, healing by secondary intention can take weeks, months, or may never fully close a wound.  Traditional surgical techniques can be challenging, including various complex closures, grafts or flaps.  These have limitations and complications inherent to any surgical procedure.  A technique that would allow expansion and advancement of adjacent soft tissue to fill a wound is desirable, but the previously existing techniques for tissue expansion have been complex and often cumbersome.

Working to develop an effective, yet simple and easy to use means to achieve wound closure through tissue expansion, Wound Care Technologies has produced the DermaClose® RC Continuous External Tissue Expander.

The DermaClose® RC is so easy to use it is changing the treatment of acute and chronic wound closure, and has made external tissue expansion simple, effective and easy to use..  This innovative device is not only effective, but it does not require constant readjustment by the physician.  A recent clinical presentation has shown that wound closure is achieved in much less time, often in 24 hours or less, there is significantly less scarring and patients report only minimal discomfort.
