The Wound Closure Kit by MyMedic is a dedicated four-method laceration closure system built for trained responders who need the right tool for the right wound — when a clinic is hours away. At $149.95, it's a complete closure capability in a single compact, MOLLE-compatible pouch.
What It Is — and What It Isn't
This is a wound closure kit, not a general first aid or bleeding-control kit. It's designed to close lacerations after bleeding is controlled, for users with the training to do it. It does not replace a tourniquet, hemostatic gauze, or professional medical care — and it's not intended for untrained users working alone.
Four Ways to Close a Wound
Different wounds call for different closure methods. This kit gives you all four:
- Sutures (3-0 and 5-0 nylon) — traditional stitched closure for deeper lacerations
- Super Strips — adhesive wound closure strips for smaller or shallow cuts
- ZZIPS — zipper-style closure devices that draw a wound shut without instruments
- Liquid Skin (skin glue) — fast adhesive closure for appropriate wound types
What You Get
Professional-grade stainless-steel instruments, organized for fast access:
- Straight and curved hemostats, needle pullers, and tweezers
- Scalpel handle with three #10 and three #11 blades
- Surgical scissors and sharp/blunt-tip scissors
- Super Wash saline irrigation, antiseptic wipes, hand sanitizer, and iodine prep pad
- Nitrile gloves, cloth surgical tape, gauze, and a sharps container
- Rugged MOLLE/Velcro pouch — available in Red, Black, Gray, Green, and Coyote
Note: This kit no longer includes a skin stapler. Contents may be slightly modified with equivalent items based on stock availability.
How It Fits Into Your Setup
Stage it in a vehicle, range bag, or go-bag. Attach it via MOLLE to a larger pack, trauma kit, or IFAK you already carry. It's purpose-built to add closure capability to an existing kit without redundancy — keeping your trauma gear and closure gear organized and accessible.
- Stage it — attach to your MOLLE panel or store in your bag
- Train with it — familiarize yourself with each closure method before you need it
- Use it — match the closure method to the wound type and your training level
Objection Busters
"Do I need formal training to use this?" Suturing requires trained hands — this kit is built for that. ZZIPS and Liquid Skin offer closure options that require less formal training, but all users should practice before a real situation.
"Are the instruments real quality or kit filler?" The instruments are stainless steel and the closure materials are name-brand MyMedic components. These are functional tools, not novelty parts.
"Is this too bulky to carry daily?" The pouch is compact and designed to attach to gear you already carry. It adds closure capability without adding a separate bag.
"Is $149.95 worth it for something I may never use?" A wound closure kit is a one-time investment in a capability gap most kits don't cover. The cost of improvising — or not being able to close a wound in a remote setting — is higher.
"Can I use my HSA/FSA?" Yes. This product is HSA/FSA eligible. Use your benefits card at checkout or submit your receipt per your plan's rules.

❓ FAQs
1. Who is this kit designed for? This kit is built for trained individuals — medical professionals, paramedics, combat medics, wilderness first responders, and preparedness-focused civilians who have completed suturing training. ZZIPS and Liquid Skin provide options for those without formal suture training, but the full kit is intended for trained hands.
2. Does this kit include everything needed to suture a wound? Yes — it includes 3-0 and 5-0 nylon sutures, needle pullers, hemostats, surgical scissors, saline irrigation, antiseptic wipes, gloves, gauze, and a sharps container. It is a complete closure system, not a partial kit.
3. Does it still include a skin stapler? No. The skin stapler has been removed from this version. The kit now focuses on sutures, ZZIPS, Super Strips, and Liquid Skin as its four closure methods.
4. What colors are available? The pouch is available in Red, Black, Gray, Green, and Coyote. All color variants are $149.95 and include identical contents.
5. Will this attach to my existing IFAK or trauma kit? Yes. The pouch features a laser-cut MOLLE panel and Velcro front, making it compatible with standard MOLLE-equipped packs, vests, and trauma kits.
6. Is this HSA/FSA eligible? Yes. Use your HSA/FSA card at checkout or submit your receipt for reimbursement per your plan's guidelines.
7. What's the difference between this and a general first aid kit? A general first aid kit covers minor injuries and basic care. This kit is specifically designed for laceration closure after bleeding is controlled — it's a specialized tool for a specific capability gap, not a replacement for a full first aid or trauma kit.
8. Can I use this without suturing training? ZZIPS and Liquid Skin can be used with minimal training. Suturing, however, is a trained skill — practicing on training pads before a real situation is strongly recommended. This kit is not intended as a standalone solution for untrained users.
