microMend PRO is designed to apply quickly, reduce tension, and provide improved cosmetic results.
What is microMend PRO?
Designed like a butterfly bandage, microMend PRO can be applied easily and painlessly in seconds. Microstaples achieve the holding strength of sutures, so that it can be used to securely close most wounds including lacerations, surgical incisions, and port sites. The device is gentle enough to be applied to children and on fragile skin of the elderly and chronically ill, and highly effective in closing skin tears.

“The weakest points of the breast lift are at the base of the nipple and where the vertical and horizontal incisions intersect and are most prone to wound breakdown. Using microMend PRO on the T-Zones of a mastopexy augmentation allows the tension to be removed to prevent wound breakdown and consequently suture spitting.”

“Reducing tension on incisions to provide the best possible cosmetic outcome is essential to what we do as plastic surgeons. MicroMend PRO is my preferred closure device to reduce tension on incisions like abdominoplasties or mastopexies. The microstaples are able to engage the superficial dermis and reduce tension on the epidermal layer leading to better outcomes.”
