DESCRIPTION
DERMABOND™ PRINEO™ Skin Closure System liquid topical skin adhesive is a sterile, liquid topical skin adhesive containing a monomeric (2-octyl cyanoacrylate) formulation and the colorant D & C Violet #2. It is provided in a single use applicator packaged in a rigid blister. The applicator is comprised of a crushable glass ampule contained within a pen applicator with attached applicator tip. As applied to skin, the liquid topical skin adhesive is slightly more viscous than water and polymerizes within minutes. In vitro studies have shown that DERMABOND™ PRINEO™ acts as a barrier to microbial penetration as long as the liquid topical skin adhesive film remains intact. Clinical studies were not conducted to demonstrate microbial barrier properties.
DERMABOND™ PRINEO™ also incorporates a self-adhering mesh that is applied to the approximated skin edges to provide temporary skin edge alignment until the liquid topical skin adhesive is applied to achieve skin closure.
