Surgical adhesives are specialized medical glues used to bond tissues together during surgical procedures. They provide an alternative to traditional sutures and staples, offering benefits such as reduced scarring and quicker application. These adhesives are designed to be biocompatible, meaning they are safe for use in the human body and can help promote healing. There are various types of surgical adhesives, including cyanoacrylate and fibrin glue. Cyanoacrylate adhesives work by forming a strong bond upon contact with moisture, while fibrin glue mimics the natural clotting process. Both types are used in different surgical contexts, depending on the specific needs of the procedure.
