NeoClose Benefits

Fast, simple delivery
eliminates “fishing”
for sutures

Safer, minimal insertion
depth within
abdominal cavity

Lower tissue tension
results in less patient
pain at one week

NeoClose delivers absorbable anchors pre-attached to absorbable suture through transparent guides for a quick and simple port site fascial closure process. This innovative anchor technology eliminates the need to “fish” for sutures and approximates the tissue, providing secure fascial closure without nerve entrapment. NeoClose is faster and safer than traditional looped suture with less patient port site pain!*
“Current standard of care for port site closure after Laparoscopic surgery can be improved. Herniation complications occur at a rate of 6% but the actual rate is likely higher. Complications such as small bowel strangulation or nerve entrapment are unacceptable. Now there’s NeoClose”

Erik Wilson M.D., Professor of Surgery – University of Texas Medical School at Houston

“There are a number of advantages. NeoClose is not a closed loop closure so there is less tension on the peritoneum, less pain. It’s fast, it is easy, and cost effective”

Daniel Marcus, M.D. – Cedars-Sinai Marina Del Rey Hospital

With the introduction of NeoClose AnchorGuard, clinicians now have a safer alternative for fascial closure to reduce aerosolized viruses. We have been using NeoClose for the past few years and the addition of NeoClose AnchorGuard enables us to continue to provide our patients a complete port site closure while adhering to the SAGES recommended guidelines.”

Shawn Tsuda, M.D. – Past Chair of the SAGES Technology and Value Assessment Committee and current member of the SAGES COVID-19 Response Team

NeoClose AnchorGuard

NeoClose AnchorGuard is designed to safely close port sites without insufflation!

NeoClose AnchorGuard provides a shielded port site closure after the patient’s insufflation has been safely exhausted. This closure eliminates escaping insufflation gas and helps reduce aerosolized virus potential. The NeoClose AnchorGuard’s unique design gives clinicians the freedom to deliver the NeoClose anchors safely through the fascia and provide closure with up to 75% less tension on the tissue.
