Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study Investigating the Efficacy of Various Wound Closure Devices in Reducing Postoperative Wound Complications (NCT NCT03134209)

NCT ID: NCT03134209

Last Updated: 2021-09-14

Results Overview

The visual analog scale (VAS) is a tool widely used to measure pain. A patient is asked to indicate his/her perceived pain intensity along a horizontal line, and this rating is then measured from the left edge. The total range of score is 0-10; the higher the score the worse the pain (0 = no pain, 10 = worst pain imaginable).

Measure
Zipper Surgical Skin Closure
Zipper surgical skin closure device applied to the most superficial layer of skin following a joint arthroplasty Zipper surgical skin closure: The device acts like a scaffold to stabilize the adjacent sides of a wound in order to minimize forces that can disrupt normal healing of the skin.
Monocryl + Dermabond
Monocryl suture plus Dermabond is a commonly used combination of wound closure techniques today. Monocryl + Dermabond: conventional sutures and skin adhesive glue
Polyester Mesh + Dermabond
The polyester plus Dermabond closure techniques combines the OCA topical skin adhesive with a flexible, self-adhesive polyester mesh that has proven to reduce wound cosure times and have a significant greater skin holding strength than skin staples or subcuticular sutures in one study Polyester mesh + Dermabond: conventional sutures and skin adhesive glue
