Evaluation of a new skin closure device in surgical incisions associated with breast procedures.

Background: A novel topical skin adhesive system was developed to close the outermost layer of skin in an expeditious manner. To determine its clinical utility in breast procedures, a prospective clinical investigation was undertaken to demonstrate equivalence of a new adhesive (PRINEO™ Skin Closure System) to intradermal sutures in wound closure.

Methods: The investigation comprised 79 patients who underwent elective surgery for bilateral breast procedures.

A comparison of a new skin closure device and intradermal sutures in the closure of full-thickness surgical incisions.

Background: A novel topical skin adhesive system was developed to close the outermost layer of skin in an expeditious manner. To determine its clinical utility, a clinical investigation was undertaken to demonstrate equivalence of a new adhesive skin closure system (Prineo Skin Closure System) to intradermal sutures in wound closure.

Methods: The investigation included 83 patients who underwent elective abdominoplasty, circumferential body lift procedures, and breast reconstruction with deep inferior epigastric perforator flaps.
