Clinical Evaluation of the GLYDe Dressing for Post-surgical Incision Care

This study will evaluate a new dressing to be used for post-incision care for abdominoplasty patients. The hypothesis is that this dressing will minimize scar formation.

This study will evaluate a new dressing in up to 30 patients who have undergone an abdominoplasty procedure. They will wear the dressing through 8 weeks post surgery and the scar will be evaluated at 3 months post surgery.

Inclusion Criteria:

• subjects who have undergone an abdominoplasty 1 week prior to study participation

Exclusion Criteria:

• subjects with a history of collagen vascular disease or scleroderma
• subjects with known adverse reactions to steri-strips, medical tapes or adhesives
