Tissue Adhesives
Tissue adhesives are medical substances used to bond tissues together, often as an alternative to traditional sutures or staples. They work by forming a strong bond when applied to the skin or internal tissues, promoting healing and reducing the risk of infection. Commonly used in surgical procedures and wound care, these adhesives can be made from various materials, including cyanoacrylate and fibrin.
These adhesives are particularly beneficial for closing small wounds, incisions, or lacerations, as they can minimize scarring and provide a quick, effective solution. Additionally, tissue adhesives are easy to apply and can be used in both emergency and elective surgeries, making them a versatile tool in modern medicine.
