The purpose of this study is to document the incidence of allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) to silk fibroin and 2-octyl cyanoacrylate mesh dressings after open shoulder surgery, to identify differences in clinic utilization for complications related to silk fibroin and 2-octyl cyanoacrylate mesh dressings and to collect patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) related to patient comfort and satisfaction for silk fibroin and 2-octyl cyanoacrylate mesh dressings.
Multiple studies have demonstrated allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) to the Dermabond PRINEO skin closure system (Ethicon, Sommerville, NJ) that utilizes a 2-octyl cyanoacrylate liquid adhesive with a polyester mesh. This dressing is commonly applied after total hip (THA), total knee (TKA), and total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) as an alternative or adjunct to staples or a subcuticular suture. However, 2-octyl cyanoacrylate mesh is documented to cause an allergic hypersensitivity reaction in 4-5% of patients. Risk factors include a documented contact allergy to medical adhesives and sensitizati…
Inclusion Criteria: * open shoulder procedure with Dr. James Gregory or Dr. Robert Fullick. Exclusion Criteria: * Prior documented medical adhesive contact allergy. * Negative pressure wound dressings. * Any procedure involving a wound problem at the planned surgical site.
SYLKE dressing will be placed in a sealed envelope, which will be opened by the operative surgeon during wound closure and placed on the closed wound. 2 week and 6 week postoperative appointments will include a standard postoperative examination that will evaluate and remove the dressing, as well as examine and document a physical examination of the surgical wound.
