Surgical Glue
Surgical glue, also known as tissue adhesive, is a medical product used to close wounds and incisions. It is made from a type of cyanoacrylate, which forms a strong bond when it comes into contact with moisture. This glue is often used in place of traditional stitches or staples, especially for small cuts or surgical procedures.
The application of surgical glue is quick and minimizes discomfort for patients. It is commonly used in dermatology, orthopedics, and pediatric surgery due to its ease of use and effectiveness. Once applied, the glue typically falls off as the skin heals, making it a convenient option for wound closure.
