In Vitro Assessment of Microbial Barrier Properties of Dermabond^® Topical Skin Adhesive

Abstract

The results of these in vitro experiments supported the hypothesis that octylcyanoacrylate tissue adhesive is an effective barrier to microbial penetration by gram-positive and gram-negative motile and nonmotile species.

A Blinded, Randomised, Controlled Trial of Stapled Versus Tissue Glue Closure of Neck Surgery Incisions

“…13,14,19 Indeed, they may have some beneficial antimicrobial properties, especially against Gram-positive organisms. [20][21][22] The use of skin staples continues to generate debate and a considerable number of randomised clinical trials have failed to demonstrate a consistent benefit of this method of skin closure over sutured techniques. Though rapid to apply, the overwhelming consideration must be for patient comfort, satisfaction, cosmesis and functional outcome, and no study has reported staples to be superior to other methods of skin closure using these outcome measures.…”

Surgical Site Infections after Open Appendectomy and Effectiveness of Complex Approach to Their Prevention

“…Имеются также данные исследований об анти-микробных свойствах самого клея и эффективности совместного использования клея в комплексе мер профилактики ИОХВ [11,22].…”

“…Одним из них является использование шовного материала с антиинфекционными свойствами (покрытие или импрегнация триклозаном) для закрытия операци-онной раны [10]. Другим -применение кожного клея (на основе 2-октилцианоакрилата), препят-ствующего контаминации операционной раны из-вне [11,12].…”

Three-dimensional fabrics as medical textiles

“…The main purpose is to cover the dressing completely and act as an impenetrable barrier so that bacteria cannot reach the wound surface while still being air permeable and pressure insensitive. The outer rim of this layer shall also act as an adhesive to seal the cover, stop leakage of fluids from the wound, prevent moist evaporation and keep the dressing firmly in place (Thomas et al, 2000;Bhende et al, 2002).…”
