The violet colored adhesive is supplied in single use applicators comprised of a crushable glass ampule with a plastic vial and applicator tip and containing 0.5 ml of liquid. Wounds should be followed closely for localized infection. Local anesthetic should be used, as necessary, to ensure adequate wound cleansing and debridement. Wound edges should be manually approximated. Subcuticular sutures may be placed, if needed.
Polymerization occurs within a matter of seconds.
Avoid large droplets of adhesive, as this may result in the patient experiencing a sensation of heat or discomfort. Avoid excessive pressure on the applicator tip, as the wound edges may be forced apart. The applicator should be disposed after single patient use. The applicator can not be re-sterilized.
