Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
1. The primary safety endpoint is the incidence of all device related adverse events. 2. The primary effectiveness endpoint is to show a sustained and safe wound closure with MAR-CUTIS®. Wounds will be evaluated for apposition (50, 50â??99, and 100%), and dehiscence (50% and 50%).Timepoint: 10 Days

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. Cosmetic outcome of using MAR-CUTIS® Topical Skin Adhesive as topical skin wound closure. Wounds will be evaluated for cosmetics using a modified Hollander Wound Evaluation Scale (HWES).Timepoint: 10 Days
