DERMABOND® PRINEO® Skin Closure System
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.1-6
Features & Benefits
Shorter length of stay and fewer return visits
DERMABOND® PRINEO® has no dressings to change or staples to remove. Patients with DERMABOND® PRINEO® had a shorter length of stay and lower readmissions than patients with skin staples in total knee arthroplasty.7*
Simplified at-home care
With its transparent barrier that allows for observation of the incision, DERMABOND® PRINEO® may be especially suitable for surgeons who have adopted telemedicine protocols in their post‐op patient care. Patients may be able to shower immediately after their procedure, if directed by the healthcare professional.4
Microbial barrier
The microbial barrier protection of DERMABOND® PRINEO® is proven 99% effective through 72 hours in vitro.8 Furthermore, DERMABOND® PRINEO® is demonstrated in vitro to kill 99.9% of bacteria (MRSA, MRSE, and E Coli) on direct contact.9†
Stronger, more secure closure
DERMABOND® PRINEO® was shown to provide statistically significant greater skin holding strength than skin staples or subcuticular suture.10‡
