Trial Information
A Comparison Study of the Tensile Strength of Sutures Used in Dermatologic Surgery on the Day of Suture Removal, Following Wound Care With Two Different
Inclusion Criteria:
- Subject is willing to comply with the informed consent procedures
- Subject's wound is on the body or scalp
- Subject will be able to come to the clinic for suture removal on day 14
Exclusion Criteria:
- Subject is less than 18 years of age
- Subject's wound was not closed with 4-0 nylon sutures
- Subject's wound is on the face
- Subject plans to apply other topicals to the area under study
- Subject's suture is removed before or after day 14
Type of Study:
Interventional
Study Design:
Allocation: Randomized, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Caregiver), Primary Purpose: Treatment
Outcome Measure:
Tensile strength of 4-0 nylon sutures
Outcome Description:
The tensile strength was defined as the force required to break the suture, with breaking strength as the maximum strength that a material can withstand when subjected to an applied load, without taking into consideration the cross sectional area. The strength of the sutures was measured using a tensometer.
Outcome Time Frame:
14 days
Safety Issue:
No
Authority:
United States: Institutional Review Board
