surgical adhesive systems are used to close surgical cuts and simple skin wounds. This system is a non-invasive option, meaning it can be used instead of stitches or staples. Because these products do not require stitching deep into the skin, they can reduce the time it takes to close a wound and may reduce stress or damage to the skin edges.
The OptiClose surgical adhesive system combines a liquid adhesive with a self-adhering mesh for the closure of surgical incisions and simple lacerations. It acts as a demonstrated noninvasive alternative to skin sutures and staples.
The OptiClose and Dermabond topical skin adhesives combine a self-adhering, pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA), polyester-based mesh (for incisions requiring a mesh), as well as a simple non mesh application system (for incisions that do not require a mesh) for temporarily adjoining the approximated skin edges of an incision, and a 2-octyl cyanoacrylate liquid adhesive formulation for final skin closure. By sparing long intracutaneous sutures, wound closure time is significantly reduced and wound edge ischemia potentially diminished. The purpose of this study is to conduct a two arm, prospective, randomized control trial by which participants will be randomly assigned to either receive the Dermabond wound closure adhesive or the OptiClose wound closure adhesive in participants undergoing the closure of any subcutaneous tissue following surgical site incisions.

| larger incisions requiring mesh are randomized to two a Medline product and the other a comparator | Experimental | In the first arm, larger incisions (greater than 20cm) requiring mesh are randomized to either OptiClose Secure or Dermabond Prineo. Participants are assessed at three post procedure time points: immediately after skin closure and at two subsequent follow up visits. Study endpoints include cosmetic outcome (cosmesis score), incidence of wound dehiscence or allergic reactions, dry time, and ease of application. Participants complete the study following the final assessment visit, though withdrawal is permitted at any time, and investigators may discontinue participation if clinical concerns arise. The study involved an overall duration of approximately 4-6 months[SR1] [NS2] , with participant follow up lasting about 4-6 weeks, including a 2 week post operative visit, placing all follow up activities within the referenced 8-12 week completion window.[](streamdown:incomplete-link) |

| smaller incisions not requiring mesh are closed using adhesive only with participants randomized | Experimental | In the second arm, smaller incisions (19 cm or smaller) not requiring mesh are closed using cyanoacrylate-based adhesive ("glue") only, with participants randomized to OptiClose Rapid or Dermabond Advanced. Participants are assessed at three post procedure time points: immediately after skin closure and at two subsequent follow up visits. Study endpoints include cosmetic outcome (cosmesis score), incidence of wound dehiscence or allergic reactions, dry time, and ease of application.

| Evaluating wound closure products to close smaller surgical site incisions | Device | Participants receive surgical incision closure using either OptiClose or Dermabond, selected through randomization based on incision characteristics. Incisions not requiring mesh (≤19 cm) are closed using cyanoacrylate-based adhesive alone. Product assignment is randomized within each incision category. |

Cosmetic appearance of the wound as identified by the Modified Hollander Wound Evaluation Scale. The Modified Hollander Cosmesis Scale consists of multiple components assessed as binary outcomes (1 = absence, 0 = presence). Individual item scores are summed to generate a total score per participant (overall cosmesis score) The total score ranges from 1 to 6, with higher scores indicating better cosmetic outcome.
| 8-12 weeks post-operation |
| Participant Satisfaction With Cosmetic Outcome | Participant satisfaction with the cosmetic outcome was assessed using a numeric rating scale ranging from 1 to 10, where lower scores indicate greater satisfaction. This assessment was collected alongside the Modified Hollander cosmesis evaluation. | 8-12 weeks post-operation |
| Operator Satisfaction Score (1-10 Scale) | Operator satisfaction with the cosmetic outcome was assessed using a numeric rating scale ranging from 1 to 10, where lower scores indicate greater satisfaction. This assessment was collected alongside the Modified Hollander cosmesis evaluation. | 8-12 weeks post-operation |
| Counts of Surgical Site Infections | The counts will be collected of participants experiencing surgical site infections (SSIs) and recorded for each subject (as occurring within 30 days of treatment) as per the CDC guidelines. | 8-12 weeks post-operation |
| Counts of Inflammatory reactions | The counts will be collected of participants experiencing Inflammatory reactions and recorded for each subject as per the ICDRG guidelines. | 8-12 weeks post-operation |
