Microbial barrier
DERMABOND PRINEO System creates a watertight seal ,creating a barrier to water and bacteria entering the wound.4,7 Furthermore, the microbial barrier protection of DERMABOND PRINEO System is proven 99% effective through 72 hours in vitro.8†
Stronger, more secure closure
DERMABOND PRINEO System, was shown to provide statistically significant greater skin holding strength than skin staples or subcuticular suture.9‡
