Profile: Canica Design Inc. is a medical device company that specializes in designing devices for the mechanical manipulation of soft tissues for use in acute care and chronic care settings. We develop a wide range of dynamic wound closure and stabilization devices, distributed internationally. ABRA® abdominal wall closure provides full fascia and skin closure, leaving nothing behind except a sound primary repair. The ABRA® abdominal wall closure system restores the primary closure option for full thickness and retracted midline abdominal defects. Over time, this dynamic wound closure system pulls the muscle planes together under tolerable tension while leaving fascial margins intact and ready to suture for a sound primary closure. This ABRA system eliminates the hernia without the need for mesh and re-approximates the skin margins, eliminating the need to graft. DynaClose™ provides an easy, painless and non-invasive method to close retracted or dehisced wounds up to 5 cm in width. DynaClose provides a second chance at skin closure for failing wounds or wounds under tension. DynaClose dynamic skin closure is indicated when retracted or dehisced wounds cannot be immediately reapproximated, when closed wounds are at risk of dehiscing, or when reduction of wound area under management is desirable. DynaStretch® is a non-invasive, topically applied adhesive-based device that stretches skin prior to a surgical intervention, creating a depot of skin that allows a primary closure after defect excision. It is indicated whenever a skin defect that is to be surgically removed is large enough that the resulting wound may not be primarily closeable under tolerable tension.

The company was founded in 1998.
