2Treatment groups

Active Control

Group I: Cyanoacrylate Superior/InferiorActive Control1 Intervention

This arm contains data from only the Cyanoacrylate used on superior ½ of wounds \& inferior ½ of wounds in randomized patients to determine the impact of Cyanoacrylate tissue glue versus Fast Absorbing Gut suture.

Group II: Fast Absorbing Gut Suture Superior/InferiorActive Control1 Intervention

This arm contains data from only the Fast Absorbing Gut Suture used on superior ½ of wounds \& inferior ½ of wounds in randomized patients to determine the impact of Cyanoacrylate tissue glue versus Fast absorbing gut suture.
