DermaQuik Instructions for Use

DermaQuik provides hospital-grade wound closure in a completely needle-free design. For the best holding strength and minimal scarring, please follow these instructions carefully.

IMPORTANT MEDICAL WARNINGS:

The DermaQuik device is for closure of minor cuts & lacerations.

Seek medical attention for deep, large, infected, bite, puncture, heavily bleeding or crush wounds.

Do not use if allergic to adhesives.

Do not use if sterile package is open or damaged.

Watch the Application Guide

Step 1: Cleaning and drying the laceration before applying the DermaQuik wound closure device.
1

Clean & Dry

  • Flush wound thoroughly and remove dirt & debris.
  • Control bleeding.
  • Clean thoroughly with alcohol swab.
  • Dry Area completely. (Adhesive will not stick to wet skin).
Step 2: Aligning the DermaQuik device directly over the wound and pressing firmly.

Place & Press Firmly

Place device edges on each side of the wound, as close to the wound edge as possible.

Massage pads firmly into skin. The adhesive is pressure-sensitive, so firm pressure is required.

Pressure Reference: Think "strong handshake" or "firm hand massage" as a level of pressure to ensure a strong clinical bond!

Step 3: Sliding the DermaQuik transparent blocks horizontally until they touch.

Press Together

Press edges of device together until device edges make contact. Push in-line with the plane of the skin.

Step 4: Continuing to push with an upward pinch to lock the device.

Pop-Up to Lock

Once the two sides are touching, pop-up the center of the device with an upward pinching action to close and lock it into a pyramidal shape.

Final Check & Cover

  • Check the locking of the device by pushing down on the adhesive pads and trying to separate the two sides. If it separates, redo.
  • The locked device creates tissue eversion (pushing closed skin edges slightly upward), which promotes optimal healing.
  • Cover the area with a secondary dressing or bandage, if possible.

Healing & Protection

Your DermaQuik device is now securely in place, protecting the wound and promoting optimal, low-scar healing. Keep the area clean and follow standard wound care practices.

How to Remove DermaQuik

DermaQuik can be worn for up to 7 days. When it is time to remove the device, do not rip it off like a standard bandage.

  • Gently peel the adhesive pad back on itself (pulling parallel to the skin, not up and away).
  • Start from the outside edge and roll it slowly toward the center of the healed wound.
  • If using the Sport & Extreme adhesive, you may use an adhesive remover wipe or baby oil to help dissolve the bond and protect fragile skin.
