Topical Skin Adhesive
Topical Skin Adhesive Chart
Superior Flexibility and Optimal Strenght
Higher Permeability Promotes Faster Healing***
Studies demonstrate that adhesives with high Moisture Vapor Transmission Rate (MVTR) contribute to improved wound care, and tests show that SurgiSeal's MVTR is more than twice that of its leading competitor.****
SurgiSeal™ is a topical skin adhesive that provdes the optimal balance between strenght and flexibility. SurgiSeal can replace sutures that are 5-0 or smaller in diameter for incision or laceration repair and is designed to save time during wound repair, provide a flexible, water-resistant, antimicrobial protective coating, and eliminate the need for suture removal.
High-Strenght 2-Octyl Cyanoacrylate Formulation
SurgiSeal is made with a 2-Octly Cyanoacrylate formulation, which features a greater breaking strength and broader uses in clinical applications than existing n-Butyl-2-cyanoacrylates.*
High Moisture Vapor Transmission Rate (MVTR)
The proprietary formulation is designed to provide optimal permeability, increasing moisture and oxygen transmission to the wound.
Antimicrobial Protective Coating
As a microbial barrier, SurgiSeal can also be used as an auxiliary adhesive in conjunction with conventional suturing for surgical incision closure, which can reducetoperative infection rate significantly.**
OctylFlex™ Technology
Provides increased flexibility designed to contribute to patient comfort and helps preserve the integrity of the adhesive, preventing premature sloughing.
Precision Applicator
SurgiSeal's patented applicator is designed to provide greater coverage with less adhesive material and requires no catalyst to activate its adhesive properties. This self-contained applicator is designed to increase efficiency in the OR, to be used on multiple lacerations, and to reduce waste.
