Aesthetic Outcome of Running Cuticular Suture Distance (2mm vs 5mm) From Wound Edge on the Closure of Linear Wounds on the Head and Neck: a Randomized Evaluator Blinded Split Wound Comparative Effective Trial.

University of California, Davis·interventional·Posted Nov 6, 2017·Updated May 12, 2021

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating Fast absorbing gut suture for Cutaneous Sutures and Scar Cosmesis. Completed, enrolled 50 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

This study aims to investigate whether the spacing of the interrupted cutaneous sutures affects surgical wound cosmesis on the face and neck. In other words, the investigators would like to determine which of the following yields a more cosmetically appealing scar: many closely approximated sutures or fewer, more widely spaced sutures. The investigators wish to compare the effects of two versus five millimeter spacing between sutures.
