Skin Adhesive That Flows Naturally
Looking for a more precise way to apply skin adhesives to minimally invasive surgical incisions?

The adhesive is made with a 2-octyl cyanoacrylate formulation and dispenses a high percentage of adhesive while creating a strong, flexible film. SurgiSeal polymerizes at the wound site in 30 seconds with 1 coat or within 90 seconds with 2 coats. medline.com
