Ethicon DERMABOND PRINEO Skin Closure System (x)

This innovative skin closure system enables wound closure securely, flexibly, and cosmetically without the application of sutures or staples, making it suitable for various surgical procedures. The DERMABOND PRINEO device simplifies post-surgical patient care by minimizing healing time, reducing the risk of infection, and improving overall aesthetic outcomes.

Key Features:

Two-in-One System of Closure: DERMABOND PRINEO features an adhesive mesh tape and a liquid topical skin adhesive, which makes it a dual-component system. The mesh provides adequate mechanical strength to the wound site by distributing tension evenly, while the adhesive seals the wound, forming a microbial barrier. Together, they work synergistically to provide the ideal condition for wound healing by maintaining adequate tension on the edge of the wound.

Strong and Flexible Closure: The mesh component of the PRINEO system utilizes flexible polyester material, allowing the mesh to move with natural body motion. Increased patient mobility is desirable, and the flexibility of the mesh does not compromise wound closure. Wound closure is further augmented by the liquid adhesive anchoring the wound edges and preventing wound dehiscence (wound reopening).

Microbial Barrier Protecton: DERMABOND PRINEO creates a protective microbial barrier that helps reduce the occurrence of surgical site infections (SSI). This is especially useful in high-risk surgeries and when closing wounds in well-known contaminant hotspots. The system protects the wound from bacteria while it heals, enabling a more optimal recovery.

Enhanced Cosmetic Outcomes: DERMABOND PRINEO’s method eliminates the need for staples or sutures, hence averting additional skin scarring and damage. Moreover, the even and seamless closure enhances the chances of an aesthetically appealing outcome, which is highly beneficial for other medical specialties such as in plastic or dermatologic surgeries that require precise cosmetic results.

No Need for Suture Removal: There is no follow-up appointment to remove the sutures or staples since the adhesive and mesh self-exfoliate and get absorbed with time as the wound heals. This increases comfort for the patient and lowers chances of suture marks or other irritation. Usually, the system is expected to remain in place for 7 to 14 days depending on the location and type of wound.

Quicker Application and Less Time Spent in the Operating Room (OR) – The DERMABOND PRINEO system facilitates application, and thus, it helps streamline the wound closure process, reducing OR time. Surgeons benefit from its simplicity during the closure process which can be done quickly, but with great attention to detail, even in lengthy or intricate incisions.

Durable and Waterproof – Like other parts of the system, the DERMABOND PRINEO also has an adhesive PRINEO that is designed to stay intact when wet. Patients can shower one day after their surgery confident that their closure will remain intact and protected. Furthermore, the adhesive provides additional stability during the healing process ensuring that the wound is protected throughout the healing period.

Surgical Versatility – This skin closure system can be used for a wide variety of surgical procedures including gynecologic, orthopedic, and plastic surgeries alongside general surgeries. This makes the system useful for both small and large incisions while providing flexible and reliable cosmetic closure.

Applications:

Orthopedic Surgery: This is useful for closing incisions done during joint replacements, arthroscopies and any other orthopedic surgeries.

Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery: This is excellent to reduce the appearance of scars in surgeries where cosmetic outcome is important; this includes breast augmentation, facial surgery, and abdominoplasty.

General Surgery: This is applicable in closing wide range surgical wounds from laparoscopic and open surgeries.

Gynecological Surgery: Adequate for performing cesarean sections and for other forms of wound closure that are strong yet flexible.

The Ethicon DERMABOND PRINEO Skin Closure System is revolutionary in how it closes sutures since it combines a mesh dressing with DERABOND adhesive to provide enhanced wound closure. This system offers strong, flexible, and superior aesthetic closure compared to traditional methods such as staples and sutures. It benefits patients by decreasing scarring, improving patient movement, and protecting them from infection, making it helpful for surgeons from different fields. Modern surgical practice now appreciates the fact that DERMABOND PRINEO enhances wound healing and improves surgical patient's comfort, satisfaction, and overall comfort. For surgeons from multiple specialties, this suturing technique protects infection and improves patient comfort.
