It seems like something like this was a long time coming.  But, the new Zipstitch Laceration Kit by Zipline is a welcome addition for those who would rather treat their own minor medical emergencies.

From the makers website:

ZipStitch is a surgical-quality wound closure device available without a prescription. It is completely non-invasive and easy to use, wherever you may be. ZipStitch enables you to treat cuts with hospital-grade technology, when you can’t get to an ER for stitches. Continue your outdoor activities with less interruption and avoid the potential pain, hassle and out-of-pocket costs associated with a trip for stitches.

Maybe we all need at least one of these kits in our own home.  Here is the manufacturers video of the product.

And, here’s a YouTuber who did his own hands on ZipStitch wound care.

The ZipStitch Laceration Kit is available on Amazon.com for $30.
