Steri-Strips added to standard wound closure after cesarean delivery

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This interventional study compares Steri-Strip skin closures plus standard cesarean wound closure to standard closure alone in women undergoing cesarean delivery. Participants are randomized to receive either the Steri-Strip adjunct or not, with follow-up through 30 days postpartum to observe wound complications such as infection, fluid collection, or dehiscence. The goal is to determine if Steri-Strips provide an extra benefit, considering potential costs and skin reactions. The investigation is conducted at Riverside University Health System Medical Center in Moreno Valley, California.
