Skin Affix Sterile Liquid Topical Skin Adhesive - 2-Octyl Cyanoacrylate - Dome Applicator - USP Controlled

Premium Sterile Topical Skin Adhesive for Professional Wound Closure

Skin Affix™ represents the next generation in sterile, high-viscosity liquid topical skin adhesive technology, specifically engineered to deliver secure, efficient closure for simple lacerations, traumatic wounds, and minimally invasive surgical procedures. This advanced medical-grade adhesive combines clinical precision with patient comfort, offering healthcare professionals a superior alternative to traditional suturing methods.

Advanced Formulation & Clinical Performance

Formulated with a proprietary 2-octyl cyanoacrylate compound, Skin Affix polymerizes rapidly within minutes to create a secure, strong wound closure that maintains structural integrity throughout the healing process. This sophisticated chemistry delivers exceptional tensile strength while remaining flexible enough to accommodate natural tissue movement, ensuring optimal patient comfort and wound approximation.

Clinically validated to replace sutures 5-0 or smaller in diameter, this topical adhesive is ideal for minimally invasive surgical incisions, emergency department trauma lacerations, and outpatient wound management. The high-viscosity formulation ensures precise application control, minimizing run-off and maximizing coverage efficiency across diverse wound geometries.

Innovative Foam Tip Applicator Design

The dome-shaped foam tip applicator represents a significant advancement in adhesive delivery technology. Engineered to provide versatile, controlled coverage while using less adhesive material, this applicator design reduces waste and improves cost-efficiency without compromising clinical outcomes. The distinctive dark violet tint enhances visualization during application, allowing clinicians to clearly identify coverage areas and ensure complete wound edge approximation.

Unlike conventional applicators, the hollow tip design offers prolonged usability with no "race against the clock" pressure. This extended working time increases operational efficiency in both operating room and emergency department settings, reduces material waste from premature polymerization, and allows clinicians to work with confidence and precision during complex wound closures.

Clinical Benefits & Patient Outcomes

• Time-Efficient Wound Repair: Dramatically reduces procedure time compared to traditional suturing, improving patient throughput and clinical workflow efficiency
• Flexible Water-Resistant Barrier: Creates a durable, water-resistant microbial barrier that protects the wound site while allowing patients to resume normal hygiene activities
• Eliminates Suture Removal: No follow-up appointments required for suture removal, reducing patient burden and healthcare system costs
• Natural Sloughing Process: Remains securely bonded for 5-10 days before sloughing off naturally as the wound heals, eliminating painful removal procedures
• Enhanced Patient Comfort: Flexible adhesive moves with tissue, reducing tension and discomfort during the healing process
• Reduced Infection Risk: Antimicrobial barrier properties help protect against external contamination and reduce infection rates
• Improved Cosmetic Outcomes: Precise wound edge approximation and absence of suture marks contribute to superior aesthetic results
