DERMABOND PRINEO System combines a liquid adhesive with a self-adhering mesh (latex free) for closure of surgical incisions and simple lacerations. It is a non-invasive alternative to skin sutures and staples. DERMABOND PRINEO combines the proven strength, flexibility, and microbial barrier of DERMABOND ADVANCED™ with the security of a self-adhering mesh to facilitate skin closure and an optimal healing environment.A1-7 In a clinical study, DERMABOND PRINEO System was associated with a better cosmetic outcome than conventional suturing in skin closure.
DERMABOND™ PRINEO™ Skin Closure System is a sterile, liquid topical skin adhesive. It also incorporates a self-adhering mesh that is applied to the approximated skin edges to provide temporary skin edge alignment until the liquid adhesive is applied to achieve skin closure. It forms a strong, flexible, waterproof microbial barrier—as long as the adhesive film remains intact—that falls off naturally after 7-14 days
