Introduction

• Primary excision and direct closure of deep/full thickness burn is historically contraindicated due to purported risk of complications.
• Self -adhering mesh (Prineo™ and glue (Dermabond™ combination has been shown to improve suture strength, patient comfort and give antimicrobial effect in elective surgery.

Aim
To demonstrate outcomes from direct closure of a series of burns over the last 18 months, all with the ancillary use of the DERMABOND® PRINEO® Skin Closure System

Conclusion

• Excision and direct closure is a safe and effective means to manage selected patients with full thickness burns.
• DERMABOND® PRINEO® Skin Closure System provides the potential for additional benefit by minimizing tension across the wound.
• future studies designed to directly compare direct closure with and without the PRINEO System.
