Dermabond Topical Adhesive high viscosity 0.5ml. Box of 6 units

High viscosity Dermabond topical adhesive indicated for keeping easily approximated skin edges of wounds caused by surgical incisions, punctures from minimally invasive surgery, and simple lacerations caused by trauma closed. The adhesive does not replace deep dermal or subcutaneous sutures.

It is supplied sterile in a single-use filled applicator consisting of a breakable glass ampoule contained in a plastic vial with an applicator tip attached to it. The applicator is packaged in a bubble pack to keep the product sterile until it is opened or damaged.

Features:
- It is a liquid adhesive that contains a monomeric formulation (2-octyl cyanoacrylate) and D&C violet #2 dye.
- When applied to the skin, the adhesive is slightly more viscous than water and polymerizes in a few seconds.
- It has been scientifically proven that the adhesive acts as a barrier to prevent microbial infiltration into the healing wound.
- The product should not be re-sterilized or placed in containers or trays that need to be sterilized before use, as exposure to excessive heat (such as autoclaves or ethylene oxide sterilization) or radiation (such as electron beams or gamma rays) increases its viscosity and could render it unusable.
