INTRODUCTION Tissue adhesives can be used as adjacent to sutures to drop or avoid bleeding in cardiovascular operations. OBJECTIVE To verify the efficiency of fibrin and cyanoacrylate adhesive to seal arterial sutures and if the adhesives penetrate through suture line to the inner of arteries. METHODS 20 abdominal aorta segments of pigs were divided into two groups according to the adhesive...

BACKGROUND Recent studies suggest that the use of octyl cyanoacrylate tissue adhesive for closure of both traumatic lacerations and incisional surgical wounds results in a cosmetic outcome comparable to that achieved with conventional sutures. To date, no studies have looked at the use of tissue adhesive for higher-tension wounds, such as those created during cutaneous excisional procedures. ...

S36 ENDOSCOPIC ULTRASOUND / VOLUME 6 / SUPPLEMENT 1 / AUGUST 2017 Endoscopic ultrasonography-guided obliteration of the left inferior phrenic artery pseudoaneurysm bleed in a patient with alcoholic chronic pancreatitis Deepak Gunjan, Pramod Garg, Shivanand Gamanagatti All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, India Background: Bleeding due to a pseudoaneurysm is a lifethreatening cond...

BACKGROUND Minor abrasions and skin tears are usually treated with gauze dressings and topical antibiotics requiring frequent and messy dressing changes. OBJECTIVE We describe our experience with a low-cost, cyanoacrylate-based liquid dressing applied only once for minor abrasions and skin tears. METHODS We conducted a single-center, prospective, noncomparative study in adult emergency depa...

The application of glue is an established treatment for fistulas [1,2]. We consider that the alpha-cyanoacrylate monomer (α-CA) is ideal for glue embolization of intractable fistulas in the gastrointestinal tract because the α-CA glue spreads faster, so creating a bond more rapidly than the other polymer glues, such as n-butyl cyanoacrylate polymer and 2-octyl cyanoacrylate polymer [3]. However...

Endovascular management of intraparenchymal renal artery pseudoaneurysms is a reasonable and effective therapeutic technique. Endovascular management preserves the maximum amount of renal tissue and reduces the potential risk of nephrectomy. We present the case of an angiocatheter that became stuck in the renal artery following the injection of cyanoacrylate glue for angioembolization of an int...

Percutaneous injection of bone cement is a promising treatment for metastatic tumors. We present a case of hemorrhagic sacral metastases from hepatocellular carcinoma treated successfully by percutaneous sacroplasty with combined injections of bone cement and n-butyl cyanoacrylate resulting in pain relief.

Introduction * Physical-chemical properties of the -cyanoacrylate * ABSTRACT Currently, new formulations of -cyanoacrylic tissue adhesives, are being studied for the repair of soft and hard tissue in order to improve properties such as: biodegradability, biocompatibility bone flexibility (in the soft tissue applications) and ease of handling. This paper presents a review of scientific literatur...

We describe a newly designed technique for the quick, easy, and cost-effective fixation of mesh skin grafts in a range of skin conditions and patients. We fixed the skin graft using octyl-2-cyanoacrylate (Dermabond; Ethicon), which was termed "Dendritic bonding." This technique exhibits several advantages over surgical stapling and suturing with absorbable sutures.

Skin tears are a common problem that can impact the quality of life due to pain and the potential of becoming complicated wounds if not treated properly. The use of a cyanoacrylate skin protectant to manage skin tears was evaluated in 30 patients in an acute care setting.
