Comparison of Subcuticular Suture Type in Post-Cesarean Wound Complications
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating poliglecaprone 25 suture and polyglactin 910 suture for Complications; Cesarean Section and Surgical Wound Infection. Completed, enrolled 550 participants across 2 sites.
Detailed Summary
A comparison of the type of suture used for cesarean skin incision approximation and the subsequent rate of wound complications has not been widely studied. Investigators seek to compare poliglecaprone 25 and polyglactin 910 suture used in a subcuticular skin closure in Pfannenstiel incisions during cesarean birth and determine the subsequent wound complication rates (SSI, hematoma, seroma, wound separation).
