About microMend®
microMend consists of an array of miniature stainless steel
staples (Microstaples) attached to an adhesive backing that

cost-effective option for closing lacerations, skin tears, surgical
incisions, and other wounds. microMend's consumer products make it
possible for people to treat lacerations at home, in the outdoors
