Skin glue is a special medical glue used to close wounds. Also called “tissue adhesive” or "liquid stitches". It can be used on its own or with stitches or adhesive tape.
Tissue adhesive glues are often used to close both major and minor wounds, such as lacerations, incisions made during laparoscopic surgery, and wounds on the face or in the groin.
Benefits of surgical glue include:
Sterile, Non-toxic, and Lower rates of infection
Faster wound healing times
Less scarring
No needle sticks or stitches (child friendly)
Quicker return to work and other activities, like sports
No stitches to remove
No return appointments
