DERMABOND mini Topical Skin Adhesive
DERMABOND mini is a sterile, liquid, topical skin adhesive for external use. The tissue adhesive can be used alone or as a superficial addition to absorbable sutures placed inside the wound.

Which advantages do the Dermabond mini Topical Skin Adhesives present to the patient?
The tissue adhesive adapts easily to the skin, is painless, water-tight and acts as a shield against microbe penetration. This produces an excellent cosmetic result. Moreover, the patient needs no additional covering for the wound.
Which advantages do the Dermabond mini Topical Skin Adhesives present to the surgeon?
The surgeon saves a lot of time due to the easy and fast application of the adhesives and because bandage changes are no longer necessary. The edges of the wound are adapted safely and the microbial shield prevents the accumulation of germs.
Is it enough to use only one layer of the adhesive?
No, we recommend the use of at least two layers of the adhesive, as they can withstand more tension.
