BandGrip® Closure of Surgical Incisions Following Arthroscopic Surgery

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

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.
