This is a prospective, randomized, controlled, single-blinded study to compare Prineo™ with subcuticular sutures in 20 women undergoing bilateral breast reduction. For each patient, the final skin layer of one breast will be closed with subcuticular suture while the other breast will be closed with Prineo™. The treatment will be randomized to left or right breast. Therefore, the investigators will have 20 breasts in the suture group and 20 in the Prineo™ group, with each patient serving as her own control. For this study, the resident will close one side with suture and Dr. Rohde will apply the Prineo. The investigators will perform this study of incision closure under conditions as similar to normal conditions of closure.

Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Other | Score on the Vancouver Scar Scale (VSS) | A blinded plastic surgeon will evaluate objective scar quality using the Vancouver Scar Scale (VSS). Range of scores is from 0-13 with a higher score indicative of a worse scar. | Up to 1 year | |
Primary | Operative Time to Closure of Final Skin Layer | This outcome measure looks at the operative time in seconds to closure of the final skin layer using Prineo or standard sutures. | During operation only | |
Secondary | Score on Patient Observer Scar Assessment Scale (POSAS) | The subject will complete the subjective part of the Patient Observer Scar Assessment Scale (POSAS) at each post-operative time point. Total score ranges from 6 to 60, with a higher score indicating a worse scar. | Up to 1 year |
