About the company

The FASTCLOSE™ Device virtually eliminates the risk of dangerous and costly suture needle sticks in millions of surgical cases where stapling is not applicable, enabling surgeons to achieve Gold Standard wound closure more quickly, easily, and safely than suturing by hand.

Fascia closure, which is currently accomplished by hand suturing, is the first application planned for the FASTCLOSE™  Device, and is routinely performed in more than 4,000,000 surgical cases each year.

David M. Reed, MD, FACS, Chief Clinical Officer and Vice President, noted that ``Surgeons, nurses and technicians now have a way to quickly and easily close the fascia, a routine part of millions of surgical procedures, and at the same time virtually eliminate the risk of a member of the surgical team getting stuck with an exposed suturing needle. In this era of deadly blood borne viruses such as hepatitis and AIDS, the FASTCLOSE™  Device represents a unique opportunity for hospitals to dramatically reduce the number of needle sticks in the Operating Room and comply with the many state and Federal laws requiring the use of `Engineered Sharps Injury Protection' - the legal standard for needle stick prevention technology.''
