DERMABOND mini Topical Skin Adhesive

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.

Clinical studies have shown that after application, DERMABOND mini skin adhesive acts as a shield against microbe penetration into healing tissue.
