简要总结
Study designed to evaluate the Zip Surgical Skin Closure device versus conventional steel staple placement when utilized for surgical wound closure after bi lateral unicompartmental or bi later total knee replacement.
详细描述
This is a randomized, within patient control study aiming to enroll up to 25 subjects requiring bi lateral knee arthroplasty (unicompartmental or toal) at a single study center. Subjects will be followed for up for 6 weeks post surgery to evaluate wound healing and overall satisfaction of closure methods.

结局指标
主要结局
Effectiveness Outcome - Wound Healing
时间窗: 6 weeks post surgery
Wound healing as judged by the Cosmetic Visual Analogue Scale - Photos taken at 6 weeks post surgery will be judged by panel of Plastic Surgeons blinded to the treatment assignments.
次要结局
