DERMABOND® Topical Skin Adhesive
Strong Closure, Strong Protection
A recent study shows that DERMABOND® Adhesive delivers high patient satisfaction as it offers the ease and convenience that patients want after a procedure:
- Outstanding cosmesis
- No need for inconvenience and pain associated with staple, suture and bandage removal
- Waterproof, so patients can shower immediately after surgery
- Flexibility that allows patients to return to normal activity
- Moist wound healing environment with no discomfort from dressings, tapes or strips
DERMABOND® Adhesive was developed with a higher standard in mind. A unique 100% Octyl formulation combines a monomer with a plasticizer for unmatched strength and flexibility to protect against the penetration of bacteria that commonly cause infection.
- More dependable closure than butyl-based Topical Skin Adhesives which can quickly become brittle and weak
- Strong enough for nearly all procedures from C-Sections, saphenous vein harvesting to hip replacements and more
- Equivalent strength to a 4-0 suture
- Clinically proven to close incisions up to 69cm
- 7 days of wound healing strength with just a 3 minute application
