Ethicon DERMABOND PRINEO Skin Closure System (x)

The Ethicon DERMABOND PRINEO Skin Closure System is a revolutionary wound closure solution that combines the strength and protection of a self-adhering mesh with the trusted adhesive power of DERMABOND, a 2-octyl cyanoacrylate topical skin adhesive. This advanced skin closure system is designed to offer secure, flexible, and cosmetic wound closure without the need for traditional sutures or staples, making it ideal for a wide range of surgical procedures. By enhancing healing, reducing infection risks, and improving cosmetic outcomes, DERMABOND PRINEO simplifies post-surgical care for both patients and healthcare providers.

Key Features:

Two-in-One Closure System: DERMABOND PRINEO combines two components in one system—an adhesive mesh tape and a liquid topical skin adhesive. The mesh provides mechanical strength, supporting the wound site and evenly distributing tension, while the adhesive seals the wound, creating a microbial barrier. Together, they work to hold the wound edges together for optimal healing.

Strong and Flexible Closure: The mesh component of the PRINEO system is made of a flexible polyester material that conforms to the body’s natural movements. This flexibility allows for greater patient mobility without compromising the integrity of the wound closure. The liquid adhesive provides additional strength, securing the wound edges and reducing the risk of wound dehiscence (wound reopening).

Microbial Barrier Protection: DERMABOND PRINEO forms a protective microbial barrier that has been proven to help reduce the risk of surgical site infections (SSI). This is particularly important in high-risk surgeries or when closing wounds in areas prone to contamination. The system protects the wound from bacteria while it heals, promoting safer recovery.

Enhanced Cosmetic Outcomes: By avoiding the use of staples or sutures, DERMABOND PRINEO significantly reduces scarring and skin damage. The smooth and even closure it provides helps ensure a more aesthetically pleasing result, which is particularly valuable for procedures where cosmetic outcomes are critical, such as in plastic or dermatologic surgeries.

No Need for Suture Removal: The adhesive and mesh naturally wear off and are absorbed over time as the wound heals, eliminating the need for a follow-up appointment to remove sutures or staples. This reduces patient discomfort and minimizes the risk of suture marks or irritation. The system typically stays in place for 7 to 14 days, depending on the location and type of wound.

Faster Application and Reduced OR Time: The DERMABOND PRINEO system is easy to apply, streamlining the wound closure process and helping to reduce operating room (OR) time. Its ease of use benefits surgeons, making the closure process quicker while maintaining high precision, even for complex or lengthy incisions.

Waterproof and Durable: The DERMABOND PRINEO system is designed to remain securely in place despite exposure to moisture. Patients can typically shower 24 hours after surgery, knowing their wound closure will stay intact and protected. The adhesive also resists external forces, ensuring durability throughout the wound healing process.

Versatile Surgical Applications: This skin closure system can be used across a broad spectrum of surgical procedures, including orthopedic, plastic, general, and gynecological surgeries. Its versatility makes it an excellent choice for both large and small incisions, ensuring a reliable, flexible, and cosmetic closure.

Applications:

Orthopedic Surgery: Ideal for closing incisions made during joint replacement, arthroscopy, and other orthopedic procedures.
Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery: Helps minimize scarring in surgeries where cosmetic appearance is critical, such as breast augmentation, abdominoplasty, or facial surgery.
General Surgery: Effective for closing a variety of surgical wounds, including those from laparoscopic and open surgeries.
Gynecological Surgery: Useful for cesarean sections and other procedures that require a durable, flexible wound closure.

The Ethicon DERMABOND PRINEO Skin Closure System offers an innovative approach to wound closure, combining the strength of a mesh dressing with the protective power of DERMABOND adhesive. This dual-component system provides a strong, flexible, and aesthetically superior closure without the need for sutures or staples. Its ability to reduce scarring, enhance patient mobility, and protect against infections makes it a valuable tool for surgeons across multiple specialties. DERMABOND PRINEO not only improves wound healing but also enhances patient comfort and satisfaction, making it an ideal choice for modern surgical practices.
