Prospective, International Monosyn® Quick - Non Interventional Study

Completed
Conditions
Pediatric and Adult: Mucosal Closure in Facial and Oral Surgery
Pediatric: Urological Interventions (Circumcision, Phimosis Etc.)
Pediatric and Adult: Skin Closure (Dermal Sutures)
Women: Episiotomy
Interventions
Device: Monosyn® Quick
Registration Number
NCT03355001
Lead Sponsor
Aesculap AG
Brief Summary

The Monosyn® Quick non-interventional study (NIS) has been designed to implement an action within the framework of a proactive post-market surveillance system.

The aim of this NIS is to collect systematically and proactively different clinical parameters regarding safety, effectiveness and performance of Monosyn® Quick suture material under the daily clinical practice when used as intended.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Complicationat follow-up visit depending on routine clinical practice (approx. 1-3 months postoperatively)

Descriptive Analysis of the Frequency of tissue reaction or inflammation, wound infection, seroma, fistula, abscess formation, hematoma, suture removal or re-suturing at different time points

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale (POSAS)at day of discharge (approximately 1 week) and at follow-up visit depending on routine clinical practice (approx. 1-3 months postoperatively)

Effectiveness parameter: Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale (POSAS) The POSAS consists of two parts: a Patient Scale and an Observer Scale. Both scales contain six items that are scored numerically and make up a 'Total Score' of the Patient and Observer Scale. Each item of both scales has a 10-point score, with 10 indicating the worst imaginable scar or sensation. The lowest score is '1', and corresponds to the situation of normal skin (normal pigmentation, no itching etc), and goes up to the worst imaginable. The Total Score of both scales can be simply calculated by summing up the scores of each of the six items. The Total Score will therefore range from 6 to 60. Besides the six items the 'Overall Opinion' of the scar quality is scored separately of both patients and observers. \[http://www.posas.org\]

Complicationsuntil day of discharge (approximately 1 week)

Descriptive Analysis of dehiscence rates of the skin needing surgical treatment with re-closure

Dehiscenceuntil day of discharge (approximately 1 week) and at follow-up visit depending on routine clinical practice (approx. 1-3 months postoperatively)

Descriptive Analysis of dehiscence rates of the skin needing surgical treatment with re-closure for two different intervals: time of Intervention until day of discharge as well as day of discharge until follow-up visit at approximately 1-3 months postoperatively

Handling of the suture materialintra-operatively

Performance Parameter: questionnaire including different dimensions (knot security, tensile strength, knot run down, tissue drag, stiffness, etc) with 5 evaluations levels (excellent, very good, good, satisfied, poor).

Cosmetic outcomeat day of discharge (approximately 1 week) and at follow-up visit depending on routine clinical practice (approx. 1-3 months postoperatively)

Effectiveness parameter: Evaluation of the wound using VAS (1 worse - 10 excellent)

Painat day of discharge (approximately 1 week) and at follow-up visit depending on routine clinical practice (approx. 1-3 months postoperatively)

Effectiveness parameter: using the visual analogue scale (VAS 1 - 10) at discharge, and at follow-up visit depending on the routine clinical practice.

Satisfaction of the patientat day of discharge (approximately 1 week) and at follow-up visit depending on routine clinical practice (approx. 1-3 months postoperatively)

until day of discharge, and at follow-up visit depending on routine clinical practice using VAS (1 - 10).
