Ethicon Dermabond Prineo Skin Closure System (x)

This system combines a topical skin adhesive (Dermabond) with a self-adhering mesh (Prineo) to offer a unique approach to skin closure that simplifies procedures and enhances patient outcomes. It is suitable for a variety of surgical applications, including general surgery, orthopedics, and plastic surgery, providing an effective alternative to traditional sutures and staples.

Key Features

Dual-Component System
The Ethicon Dermabond Prineo Skin Closure System features a dual-component design that includes the Dermabond Advanced Topical Skin Adhesive and the Prineo Polyurethane Mesh. The combination of these two components ensures a secure, flexible, and durable wound closure. The adhesive provides a microbial barrier while the mesh distributes tension and supports the skin during the healing process.

Strong and Flexible Closure
The Dermabond Prineo system delivers a closure that is as strong as, if not stronger than, traditional sutures. The flexible mesh allows for natural movement, which is particularly important in areas of high tension or mobility. This flexibility reduces the risk of wound dehiscence and promotes more comfortable recovery for patients.

Microbial Barrier Protection
The Dermabond adhesive forms a microbial barrier that protects the wound from bacterial invasion. This barrier significantly reduces the risk of surgical site infections (SSIs), which are a common concern in postoperative care. By providing this level of protection, the Dermabond Prineo system supports better clinical outcomes and patient safety.

Cosmetic Outcomes
One of the significant advantages of the Dermabond Prineo system is its ability to enhance cosmetic outcomes. The adhesive and mesh work together to provide a smooth, low-profile closure that minimizes scarring. This is particularly beneficial in procedures where aesthetic results are critical, such as plastic and reconstructive surgeries.

Simplified Application
The system is designed for ease of use, with a straightforward application process that can be completed quickly. This simplicity not only saves time in the operating room but also reduces the risk of error, ensuring consistent and reliable wound closure. The system’s design allows for efficient application even in challenging surgical environments.

Clinical Benefits

Reduced Procedure Time
The Ethicon Dermabond Prineo system significantly reduces the time required for wound closure compared to traditional methods. This efficiency is crucial in busy surgical settings, where time savings can translate to increased throughput and reduced overall operating time. Faster closure also means less time under anesthesia for patients, contributing to overall safety.

Enhanced Patient Comfort
Patients benefit from the Dermabond Prineo system’s ability to provide a comfortable and flexible closure. The elimination of sutures and staples means less pain and discomfort during the recovery process. Additionally, the system’s flexibility accommodates swelling and movement, reducing irritation and promoting a more comfortable healing experience.

Lower Risk of Complications
The microbial barrier provided by the Dermabond adhesive helps reduce the risk of SSIs, a significant postoperative complication. The secure closure also minimizes the risk of wound dehiscence, leading to fewer postoperative issues and a smoother recovery. By reducing these risks, the system enhances overall patient outcomes.

Versatile Applications

General Surgery
The Dermabond Prineo system is suitable for a wide range of general surgical procedures, providing a reliable and efficient method of wound closure. Its application in laparoscopic and open surgeries ensures robust and aesthetically pleasing results.

Orthopedic Surgery
In orthopedic procedures, where incisions are often subjected to significant tension and movement, the Dermabond Prineo system offers the necessary flexibility and strength. It is particularly effective in joint surgeries, such as knee and hip replacements, where mobility is crucial.

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery
For plastic and reconstructive surgeries, the Dermabond Prineo system provides superior cosmetic outcomes, which are often a primary concern. Its ability to minimize scarring and blend seamlessly with the skin makes it an ideal choice for procedures on visible areas of the body.

Usage Instructions
To apply the Dermabond Prineo system, the surgical site should be thoroughly cleaned and dried. The Prineo mesh is then placed over the wound, followed by the application of the Dermabond adhesive over the mesh. The adhesive is spread evenly to ensure complete coverage and secure attachment. The wound should be held closed for approximately 60 seconds to allow the adhesive to set.

Safety and Precautions
While the Dermabond Prineo system is generally safe and effective, it is important to follow all application instructions carefully. Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes. In the event of an allergic reaction or irritation, discontinue use immediately and consult a healthcare professional. The system is intended for external use only and should not be used on infected or heavily contaminated wounds.

The Ethicon Dermabond Prineo Skin Closure System represents a significant advancement in wound closure technology. Its combination of a flexible mesh and a powerful skin adhesive provides strong, secure, and aesthetically pleasing closures that enhance patient comfort and outcomes. By reducing procedure times, lowering the risk of complications, and offering superior cosmetic results, the Dermabond Prineo system is an invaluable tool in modern surgical practice. Whether used in general, orthopedic, or plastic surgery, this innovative system delivers reliable and efficient wound management that meets the highest standards of patient care.
