About this Device
DERMABOND ADVANCED skin adhesive is a unique formulation with an easy to use applicator for precise control for wide and fine applications including surgical incisions and lacerations. As it is applied to the skin, it polymerizes in 90 seconds. DERMABOND ADVANCED remains in place for protection and naturally sloughs off within 5-10 days.1
Economic Outcomes
In retrospective analyses, DERMABOND ADVANCED was associated with:
- 25% reduction in length of stay for sternal closure patients in cardiac surgery6
- $500 reduction in total Ceasarean hospital costs when compared to staples and suturesD7
Clinical Outcomes
In a randomized trial comparing topical skin adhesives and sutures in the management of lacerations, DERMABOND Adhesive was5:
- Associated with short procedure time (3.6 minutes vs. 12.4 minutes; P <0.001)
- Associated with less patient pain (visual analog pain scores, 7.2 mm vs. 18.0 mm; P<0.001)
