Printing tattoo effect after use of Dermabond®Prineo® Skin closure system
Journal Title: Journal of Surgical Dermatology - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Abdominoplasty is a very common procedure in the plastic surgery practice and may lead to a variety of unfavorable results including incision site complications. The surgical adhesives system, which entered into daily practice to replace the need for subcuticular closure for skin, saves time and may have better wound appearance. Dermabond®Prineo® Skin Closure System (Ethicon Inc., Somerville, NJ, USA) has two major components: 2–Octyl cyanoacrylate glue and a flexible, self-adhesive polyester mesh. It can be used with or without sutures, and has the added benefit of waterproofing, and microbial resistance. It also saves time. This case describes a male patient who experienced a “printing tattoo” effect following an elective procedure of abdominoplasty and the results after this closure system was used.
