Histoacryl is a tissue adhesive for the closure of smooth, fresh skin wounds. Consisting of monomeric n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylare, Histoacryl polymerises quickly when in contact with tissue fluids.
Blue-dyed and clear versions of Histoacryl are available. The transluscent version (Histoacryl L) is suitable for facial applications.
In addition to the clinical benefits of rapid wound closure, Histoacryl removes the costs associated with local anaesthetics, suture and staple removal and follow-up consultations.
