Medical adhesives are specialized substances used to bond tissues or devices in healthcare settings. They can be used for wound closure, securing medical devices, or even in surgical procedures. These adhesives are designed to be safe for the body and can provide a strong hold while allowing for flexibility and movement. There are various types of medical adhesives, including cyanoacrylate glues, which are often used for skin closure, and hydrocolloid adhesives, commonly found in dressings. These products are essential in modern medicine, offering alternatives to traditional sutures and staples, and helping to promote healing while minimizing scarring.
