About this study

A single-arm, prospective, unblinded, post marketing, single center study using BandGrip to close incisions post arthroscopic shoulder surgery.

Read the detailed description

The study objective is to assess the ease of incision closure, the cosmetic appearance of the wounds on follow-up, and general subject satisfaction with the appearance of the healed incisions following use of BandGrip. Up to 25 subjects will be enrolled at a single center.

Subjects who have undergone arthroscopic surgery of the shoulder and require closure of one or two skin puncture sites will be enrolled. Following incision closure subjects will be seen at the time of BandGrip removal (approximately 7-14 days after closure) and at 30 days for assessment of the incisions.

The incidence of wound closure for each treated puncture site, defined as continuous approximation of wound margins from the time of wound closure until the day of removal of the wound closure device without dehiscence or need for reclosure.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Incidence of complete would closure

    complete approximation of wound margins from the time of wound closure until the day of removal of the wound closure device without dehiscence or need for reclosure.

    Measured: 30 days post treatment

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Incidence of partial wound apposition

    at least 50% wound apposition

    Measured: 10 and 30 days post closure

  2. Incision Cosmesis

    use of a 0 to 100 mm visual analog scale (100mm is best outcome)

    Measured: 10 and 30 days post closure

  3. Subject Satisfaction with cosmetic appearance of healed incision

    use of a 0 to 100mm visual analog scale (100mm is best outcome)

    Measured: 10 and 30 days post surgery

  4. Physician Satisfaction with cosmetic appearance of healed incision

    use of a 0 to 100mm visual analog scale (100mm is best outcome)

    Measured: 10 and 30 days post surgery

  5. Time to closure and removal of wound closure device

    amount of time to apply and remove BandGrip

    Measured: at surgical procedure and 10 days

  6. Adverse events

    collection of device complaints

    Measured: 30 days post surgery
