Dermabond Advanced Skin Topical Adhesive by Ethicon, 0.7 mL, 12/Box

Dermabond Advanced is intended for topical application only to hold closed easily approximated skin edges of wounds from surgical incisions, including punctures from minimally invasive surgery, and simple, thoroughly cleansed, trauma-induced lacerations. Dermabond Advanced Adhesive is a wound closure device that adds strength when used in conjunction with deep dermal stitches after strength, provides a protective barrier and demonstrated in vitro inhibits bacteria.

When used in addition to sutures, Dermabond Advanced Adhesive was shown ex vivo to add 75% more strength to wound closure than sutures alone. Dermabond Advanced Adhesive provides a microbial barrier with 99% protection in vitro for at least 72 hours against organisms commonly responsible for surgical site infections. Dermabond Advanced Adhesive is supported by substantially more Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) than the top six competitors combined.
