Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To determine whether the addition of adhesive stripping to a wound closed with dermal sutures improves outcome of wound closure. We hypothesize that the combination of adhesive strips to a wound closed with dermal sutures does not add significant cosmetic improvement of the resultant scar.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Suture with Adhesive Stripping

Buried dissolving subcuticular sutures are sued for both sides of the wound to approximate wound edges and then steri-strips for the adhesive stripped half of the scar is applied.
