FAQ's

Skin adhesives are used to close small to medium-sized wounds, surgical incisions, and post-operative wounds. They provide an alternative to stitches or staples, promoting quicker and more comfortable healing.
Unlike sutures or staples, skin adhesives are applied directly to the skin without the need for puncturing or inserting needles, making the process less invasive and generally more comfortable for patients.
Skin adhesives are ideal for smaller wounds, such as cuts, abrasions, and post-surgical sites. For larger, deeper, or heavily exuding wounds, sutures or staples may be more appropriate.
To apply skin adhesive, first clean and dry the wound site. Once the adhesive is applied to the wound edges, gently press them together and hold for a few seconds to ensure proper bonding. Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for best results.
Many skin adhesives are water-resistant, which means you can shower and wash the affected area with minimal risk of the adhesive being compromised. However, it’s important to follow specific product guidelines regarding water exposure.
Skin adhesives generally stay in place for several days to a week, depending on the type of wound and the product used. The adhesive will naturally come off as the wound heals or may be removed by a healthcare professional.
Skin adhesives are suitable for most patients; however, individuals with sensitive skin or allergies to the adhesive material should consult with a healthcare provider before use.
No, skin adhesives are single-use products. Once the wound has healed or the adhesive has started to peel, it should be replaced with a fresh application to maintain proper wound protection and closure.
