Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
1. To compare Truglyde�® polyglycolic acid suture (Healthium) and Vicryl�® polyglactin 910 suture (Johnson and Johnson) for subcutaneous abdominal wound disruptions within the first 6 weeks of cesarean deliveryTimepoint: within the first 6 weeks of cesarean delivery

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. To compare subcutaneous abdominal wound disruptions within the study period 2. To evaluate tissue reaction, SSI, seroma, and hematoma among the two groups 3. To assess overall intraoperative handling between two sutures 4. To assess the amount of time subject takes to return back to normal activities in both the groups 5. To evaluate material problems and other adverse events among the two groups 6. To compare bacterial accumulation/growth on the two suture materialsTimepoint: Day 3, Day 4-7, Week 6 and Week 12
