Description
Key Features
2-Octyl Cyanoacrylate Formulation: This is the active ingredient, known for its strong adhesive properties and rapid polymerization upon contact with skin moisture.
High Viscosity Formula: The thicker, syrup-like consistency allows for more controlled and precise application, reducing the risk of adhesive running into the wound or onto unintended areas.
Pen-Style Applicator with Precision Tip: The ergonomic design and angled tip enable both fine and wide line applications, making it suitable for various wound sizes and shapes (up to 15 cm in length).
Fast Drying Time: Polymerizes quickly, typically within 60-90 seconds, contributing to efficient wound closure.
Microbial Barrier: Creates a strong, flexible barrier over the wound that has been shown to provide over 99% protection against common surgical site infection (SSI) organisms (like MRSA, MRSE, and E. coli) for at least 72 hours.
Enhanced Wound Strength: When used in conjunction with sutures, Dermabond Advanced has been shown to add 75% more strength to the wound closure than sutures alone, supporting wound integrity during the critical healing period.
Patient Comfort and Cosmesis: Offers a comfortable alternative to traditional closures, reducing pain associated with sutures/staples and promoting excellent cosmetic outcomes due to minimal scarring.
No Suture/Staple Removal: The adhesive naturally sloughs off as the skin regenerates, eliminating the need for a follow-up visit for removal.
Water-Resistant: Once dry, the polymerized layer resists brief exposure to water, allowing patients to shower.
Sterile and Single-Use: Each 0.7 mL applicator is sterile and designed for single-patient use to maintain sterility and prevent cross-contamination.
Latex-Free: Safe for use on patients with latex sensitivities.
Key Uses
Ethicon Dermabond Advanced (DNX12) is primarily used in surgical and clinical settings for:
Topical Skin Closure: To hold closed easily approximated skin edges of:
Surgical Incisions: Including those from minimally invasive (laparoscopic) procedures.
Simple, Thoroughly Cleansed Trauma-Induced Lacerations: For cuts and deep scrapes that are not under high skin tension.
Adjunct to Sutures or Staples: Often used in conjunction with (but not in place of) deep dermal stitches or staples to provide additional strength and a microbial barrier for the wound closure, especially in areas requiring extra support.
Reducing Risk of Surgical Site Infections (SSIs): Its microbial barrier properties help protect the wound from external contamination.
Improving Cosmetic Outcomes: Helps achieve a more aesthetically pleasing scar by providing a smooth, tension-free closure.
Enhancing Patient Convenience: Eliminates the need for follow-up visits for removal and allows for easier post-operative care (e.g., showering).
Facilitating Fast Wound Closure: Its quick-drying nature helps streamline surgical procedures.
