Skin-approximation adhesive is a sterile, biodegradable topical glue made from synthetic polymers such as cyanoacrylate. It is used to close surgical incisions and simple traumatic lacerations where the skin edges can be easily brought together, forming a flexible bond that holds the wound closed during healing.
This category of device is intended for external use only and is not designed for internal surgical applications. Once applied, the adhesive cannot be reused and is supplied as a single-use sterile product.
