Patient Reported Experiences and Outcomes Associated with Standard C-Section Wound Closure Versus STRATAFIX/DERMABOND PRINEO Wound Closure (CS-PREO)

Stratafix sutures are barbed and have an antimicrobial coating. The barbs maintain tension during and allows for knotless suturing. The antimicrobial coating inhibits bacterial colonization of the wound.

"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.~Dermabond Prineo system will be applied to the skin for skin closure."
