This is a prospective, controlled, randomized, multi-center clinical study of up to 80 subjects with full thickness surgical incisions. Each incision included in the study will be segmented into two halves; each half will be randomized to receive final skin closure with either Prineo (DERMABOND PROTAPE) or intradermal sutures. Subjects will be evaluated post-operatively at 24 hours (± 6 hours), 7 days (± 1 day), 12 - 25 days, and 90 days (± 10 days).

Continuous Apposition of the Skin Edges Without Wound Dehiscence or Re-closure as Measured by the Upper Limit of 95% Confidence Interval in Proportion of Successes for Each Groups.
Equivalence is demonstrated if the upper limit of the 95% confidence interval (when subtracting the percentage of DERMABOND PROTAPE successful subjects from the percentage of INTRADERMAL SUTURE successful subjects) does not exceed 12%.
Time frame: 12-25 days post-operation
Time Required to Close the Final Skin Layer
Time to close final skin layer for each incision segment.
Time frame: Intraoperative
Cosmetic Outcome
Modified Hollander Cosmesis Scale overall outcome score in which a score of 0 corresponds to a good outcome versus a 1-6 to a poor outcome. The proportions of incisions with good outcomes were then compared to those with poor outcomes. Reference: Hollander JE, Singer AJ, Valentine S, Thode HC Jr, Henry MC.

Time frame: 90 days post-procedure
