Skin closure surgery tissue adhesive DERMABOND™ ADVANCED™

DERMABOND ADVANCED Topical Skin Adhesive is a liquid topical skin adhesive that holds wound edges together from surgical incisions and lacerations.1 It provides a microbial barrier with 99% effectiveness for 72 hours in vitro against organisms commonly responsible for surgical site infections.AB2 DERMABOND ADVANCED Topical Skin Adhesive significantly improved patient comfort and satisfaction when compared to sutured closures. About this Device DERMABOND ADVANCED skin adhesive is a unique formulation with an easy to use applicator for precise control for wide and fine applications including surgical incisions and lacerations. As it is applied to the skin, it polymerizes in 90 seconds. DERMABOND ADVANCED remains in place for protection and naturally sloughs off within 5-10 days. Clinical Outcomes In a randomized trial comparing topical skin adhesives and sutures in the management of lacerations, DERMABOND Adhesive was5: Associated with short procedure time (3.6 minutes vs. 12.4 minutes; P <0.001) Associated with less patient pain (visual analog pain scores, 7.2 mm vs. 18.0 mm; P<0.001) Features & Benefits Reduced SSI Risk Provides 99% protection in vitro for 72 hours against organisms commonly responsible for Surgical Site Infections (SSIs), including Staphylococcus epidermidis, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Enterococcus faecium. Proven Strength Provides strength to maintain barrier and wound closure integrity during critical wound healing period (48 hours). 8,9 When used in addition to sutures, DERMABOND ADVANCED Topical Skin Adhesive was shown ex vivo to add 75% more strength to the wound closure than sutures alone
