Dermabond Advanced Topical Skin Adhesive - DNX12

Description

Dermabond Advanced Topical Skin Adhesive is a sterile, pen-style surgical skin glue designed to support fast, secure wound closure. The 0.7 mL applicator contains a high-viscosity, 2-octyl cyanoacrylate-based formula engineered to reinforce sutures or staples while sealing skin edges. The precision tip enables accurate placement along linear incisions up to 15 cm. This Dermabond adhesive dries rapidly, forming a protective antimicrobial barrier that kills 99.9% of bacteria, including E. coli, MRSA, and MRSE. Its polymerized film naturally sloughs off in 5 to 10 days, eliminating the need for suture removal. Designed for surgeon-directed application, it improves wound integrity, reduces infection risk, and enhances patient comfort in post-operative settings. When To Use Dermabond Adhesive This surgical adhesive is ideal for trauma lacerations, surgical incisions, and wounds requiring added closure support. It may be used independently for topical closure or layered over sutures or staples to improve tensile strength. Avoid application on mucosal tissue, areas under mechanical stress, or regions with dense hair or prolonged moisture exposure. Proven Performance Backed by Research Dermabond has been validated in peer-reviewed clinical trials for its wound burst strength, adhesion performance, and microbial defense. Studies show 299 out of 300 closures resisted bacterial penetration for 72 hours, and the glue eliminated 99.9% of pathogens after 48 hours. These results consistently outperformed comparable products such as Liquiband in strength, drying uniformity, and user satisfaction. Features and Benefits 0.7 mL applicator for up to 15 cm wounds Single-use, sterile pen-style dispenser Fast drying for efficient skin closure Antimicrobial protection (kills 99.9% bacteria) Supports natural shedding after healing Latex-free and CHG-compatible Ergonomic design for precise control High-strength 2-octyl cyanoacrylate formulation Forms uniform, flexible polymer layer Reduces need for dressing changes or removals Frequently Asked Questions Is Dermabond waterproof? Yes. Once dry, the polymerized layer resists brief exposure to water. Avoid swimming or excessive moisture until the adhesive naturally detaches. Does Dermabond replace sutures? It can fully close small superficial wounds but is typically used to reinforce deeper closures secured with sutures or staples. strong>How long does Dermabond stay on? The adhesive peels off naturally in 5 to 10 days, aligned with skin regeneration. Is this adhesive antimicrobial? Yes. Dermabond kills bacteria on contact and creates a barrier to prevent new contamination. Can ointments be used on top? No. Applying topical agents can weaken the polymerized layer. Wait until the film naturally detaches before applying products. Indications Closure of trauma wounds and surgical incisions Supplement to sutures or staples Skin protection in low-tension areas Contraindications Do not use on mucosal surfaces or mucocutaneous junctions Contraindicated in infections, pressure ulcers, or gangrene Avoid in patients with cyanoacrylate or formaldehyde hypersensitivity Do not apply to wet, hairy, or friction-exposed regions Application and Care Guidelines Debride and pat the wound dry with sterile gauze Hold the applicator upright and crush the internal ampoule Allow adhesive to saturate the filter tip before applying Use sterile forceps or gloved fingers to approximate wound edges Apply a single layer evenly across the length of the wound Hold edges together for 60 seconds during polymerization Product Safety Notes May bond skin on unintended areas—handle carefully Avoid eye contact; flush immediately if contact occurs Do not use with topical ointments or medicated dressings Ensure full drying before placing secondary dressings Product Specifications Manufacturer: Ethicon Brand: Dermabond Item Number: DNX12 Volume: 0.7 mL Applicator Type: Pen with precision tip Latex-Free: Yes Single Use: Yes Sterile: Yes Application: Wound Closure Adhesive Active Material: 2-Octyl Cyanoacrylate Manuals and Supporting Documents Product Brochure Evidence Brief Fast Fact Sheet Instruction Sheet Patient Aftercare Sheet Related Products MAI Laceration Tray Dermacea Gauze Rolls Product Video How to Apply Dermabond Advanced Skin Adhesive | ETHICON (1:46 minutes)
