Skin closure surgery tissue adhesive DERMABOND™ PRINEO™

2-octyl cyanoacrylate

DERMABOND PRINEO System combines a liquid adhesive with a self-adhering mesh (latex free) for closure of surgical incisions and simple lacerations. It is a non-invasive alternative to skin sutures and staples. DERMABOND PRINEO combines the proven strength, flexibility, and microbial barrier of DERMABOND ADVANCED™ with the security of a self-adhering mesh to facilitate skin closure and an optimal healing environment.A1-7 In a clinical study, DERMABOND PRINEO System was associated with a better cosmetic outcome than conventional suturing in skin closure. About this Device DERMABOND™ PRINEO™ Skin Closure System is a sterile, liquid topical skin adhesive. It also incorporates a self-adhering mesh that is applied to the approximated skin edges to provide temporary skin edge alignment until the liquid adhesive is applied to achieve skin closure. It forms a strong, flexible, waterproof microbial barrier—as long as the adhesive film remains intact—that falls off naturally after 7-14 days. Economic Outcomes In a retrospective study comparing TJA patients with conventional closure to those who had multilayer watertight closure with STRATAFIX™ Knotless Tissue Control Devices and DERMABOND PRINEO Skin Closure System, statistically significant advantages were shown for multilayer watertight closure patients includingC9: Shorter LOS (0.5 days) No reoperations within 90 days Higher percent of patients discharged to home Extended time to readmission Economic Outcomes In a retrospective study comparing TJA patients with conventional closure to those who had multilayer watertight closure with STRATAFIX™ Knotless Tissue Control Devices and DERMABOND PRINEO Skin Closure System,
