The MyMedic Wound Closure Kit brings several closure methods into one compact case: nylon sutures, Zzips closure devices, liquid skin adhesive, wound closure strips and surgical tape. It also includes the instruments to use them, such as hemostats, needle pullers, scissors, a scalpel handle with blades and a sharps container. It is intended for trained users, such as medics, clinicians and experienced backcountry travelers, who want closure options when professional care is far away.
Where it fits
- Remote trips and expeditions: closure options when a clinic is hours or days away
- Stay Home Kit: a specialized add-on for a household with medical training
- Larger medical bags: slips into a Recon, Scout or other kit as a dedicated closure module

What's in the box
Super Wash, a pair of nitrile gloves, 3-0 and 5-0 nylon sutures, 1 in x 10 yd cloth surgical tape, straight and curved hemostats, needle pullers, surgical scissors, sharp/blunt scissors, scalpel handle, tweezers, three #10 and three #11 scalpel blades, a sharps container, a Zzips 2-pack with instructions, a mini wound closure module (liquid skin and closure strips) and a clean and prep module (4 hand sanitizer packets, 4 antiseptic wipes, 1 iodine prep pad).
How it compares
This is a specialized add-on, not a general first aid kit. Most MyMedic kits, including the MyFAK Large, Recon and Scout, already carry a mini wound closure module with liquid skin and strips; this kit adds sutures, Zzips and surgical instruments. The MyMedic Medic includes a Wound Closure Kit as part of its contents.

Questions people ask
Do I need training to use a suture kit?
Yes. Suturing takes real skill and practice, and a poorly closed wound can cause problems. Use the sutures and scalpels only if you are trained, and seek professional care whenever possible.
What closure methods does the kit cover?
Sutures, surgical tape, liquid skin adhesive, wound closure strips and Zzips devices, so you can match the method to the wound and your skill level.
How big is the MyMedic Wound Closure Kit?
It measures about 7.5 in by 5.5 in by 2 in and weighs about 1 lb 8 oz, small enough to add to a larger medical bag.
Can I attach it to a pack?
Yes. The front panel has laser-cut MOLLE and Velcro for attaching it or adding accessories.
