INSORB is the absorbable, subdermal skin closure device which combines the benefits and cosmetic results of sutures with the efficiency of a conventional stapler.
The INSORB absorbable ataple is comprised of a co-polymer of polylactic acid and polyglycolic acid, which is absorbed over a period of a few months.
The INSORB Advantage
Speed: Approximately 7-fold faster than suturing.²
Cosmesis: Placed completely under the dermis, achieving excellent cosmetic results with longer lasting eversion.
Reduced Complications: Lower risk of wound complications.*
Specialised Forceps: The INSORB triple forceps are specifically designed for plastic surgery to provide an optimal closure technique.
Fully rebated for private patients
Possible Indications
Abdominoplasty, mastectomy, mammaplasty, FLAP reconstruction, thigh lift, brachioplasty, and other plastic or reconstruction procedures.
INSORB can replace deep dermal sutures in plastic surgery and save significant theatre time, while providing excellent cosmesis. Closure of an Abdominoplasty with INSORB involves:
Disrupted supporting sutures - Note: The amount of supporting sutures is up to your discretion.
Closure and wound edge approximation achieved with INSORB
Final subcuticular running stitch on top
For optimal approximation, use the INSORB triple forceps, specifically designed for plastic surgery. The forceps allow for an even lift of wound edges and easy closure.
