Opus KSD, Inc. has developed the SubQ It! bioabsorbable skin closure system, a disposable stapler pre-loaded with bioabsorbable fasteners which are inserted subcutaneously. Although it has other applications, the SubQ It! system was specifically designed for closing small incisions used for 5mm and 10mm trocars in laparoscopic procedures.Opus recently developed a training experience for users complete with skin-like surrogate material to allow users to practice with actual SubQ It! fasteners. The training was validated with 20 surgeons.
