Scalp wound clip

Scalp wound clips are small, U-shaped devices made of metal or plastic that are used to hold together the edges of a scalp wound or incision following cranial or scalp surgery. They are applied either with a dedicated clip applier or manually using specialized forceps, typically in rows, and remain in place until the wound has fully healed.

These devices are designed for single-use and are non-implantable, meaning they are not intended to remain in the body permanently. They are regulated as medical devices and must be supplied sterile for each application to ensure patient safety and prevent infection.
