| * | DEN090005 | Prineo Skin Closure System Our reading of the summary gave K082289, which is not in FDA’s 510(k) list. The device the summary names is FDA’s De Novo DEN090005, Prineo Skin Closure System (Closure Medical Corp.), granted Apr 30, 2010; older De Novo requests were first filed under a 510(k) number, so this links to the grant. | 2010 |

What is it indicated for?
Exofin Fusion Skin Closure System is intended for topical application only to hold closed easily approximated skin edges of wounds from surgical incisions, including punctures from minimally invasive surgery, and simple, thoroughly cleansed, trauma-induced lacerations. Exofin Fusion Skin Closure System should be used in conjunction with, but not in place of, deep dermal stitches. Additionally, the adjunct wound closure device component maintains temporary skin edge alignment along the length of the wound during application of the liquid adhesive.
