Dermabond Prineo Skin Closure System - Surgical Adhesive + Mesh for Enhanced Surgical Wound Closure

The Dermabond Prineo™ Skin Closure System is a clinically proven advanced wound closure technology that pairs a fast-setting topical 2-octyl cyanoacrylate liquid adhesive with a flexible, self-adhering polyester mesh to facilitate effective approximation and secure closure of clean surgical incisions and simple trauma-induced lacerations. Designed as a less invasive alternative to traditional staples or subcuticular sutures, the Dermabond Prineo system provides even tension distribution along the wound, a watertight, microbial barrier, and enhanced cosmetic outcomes.

This system is intended for topical application only and is used in conjunction with, but not in replacement of, deep dermal stitches to maintain skin edge alignment during adhesive application. Its flexible mesh backing supports tissue approximation across a range of lengths (e.g., 22 cm, 42 cm, 60 cm options) and can help reduce wound closure time compared with conventional methods.

Dermabond Prineo is widely used in general surgery, orthopaedics, plastic surgery and minimally invasive procedures to reinforce skin closure while providing a strong cosmetic finish and a protective microbial barrier as the wound heals.
