NCT ID NCT06760026
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether using a medical skin glue (2-octylcyanoacrylate) instead of traditional stitches leads to better-looking scars after a C-section. 36 women who had planned C-sections took part. The goal was to see if the glue improves scar color, thickness, and flexibility, and reduces complications.

Active substance
2-octylcyanoacrylate tissue adhesive
What this could lead to
If this works, it could offer a simpler, less invasive way to close C-section wounds with better-looking scars.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed trial with only 36 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The cosmetic benefit may be minimal or no better than standard sutures.
