StarSpeed surgical glue

Painless Application - No stinging or burning on application. Forms protective layer that sloughs off over time for a natural removal process.

100% Waterproof - Protective barrier prevents cuts from exposure to water, dirt and bacteria to promote healing. Ideal for swimming & bathing!

Quick Drying - Polymerises (dries) within 30 seconds when applied correctly. Lasts up to 20 times longer than plasters!

Microbial Barrier - Protects the affected area by preventing exposure to bacteria and germs, reducing the chance of infection.

High Viscosity - Unique high viscosity allows for controlled application to prevent adhesive from running or seeping into the cut. Adjust thickness of application for desired level of protection.

Multiple color Choices: There are three colors for you to choose, Transparent, blue and green.

StarSpeed surgical glue is a sterile, liquid topical skin adhesive containing a monomeric (n-butyl cyanoacrylate or 2-octyl cyanoacrylate) formulation. It is provided in a single use ampoule package with some applicator tips. The nozzle applicator is also a self-puncturing cap with an elongation that enables detailed application of the adhesive. As applied to skin, the liquid polymerizes within seconds.

In vitro studies have shown that the adhesive acts as a barrier to microbial penetration as long as the adhesive film remains intact. Clinical studies were not conducted to demonstrate microbial barrier properties.

Package: Plastic tube, aluminum tube or glass ampoule.

0.5ml/ampoule, 5 ampoule per box.(1ml and 2ml ampoules are also available). Supplied with pipettes

StarSpeed surgical glue is solvent-free and due to its low heat generation on curing will not sting or burn when correctly applied.

This tissue adhesive is for use by medical professionals to close surgical incisions and minor traumatic wounds with easily opposable skin edges, in areas of low skin tension.  This includes punctures from minimally invasive surgery and simple thoroughly cleansed, trauma-induced lacerations.

This surgical glue may be used in conjunction with but not in place of deep dermal sutures.

• Do not use on any wound with evidence of active infection, gangrene, or wounds of decubitus etiology.

• Do not use on mucosal surfaces or across mucocutaneous junctions (e.g., oral cavity, lips), or on skin which may be regularly exposed to body fluids or with dense natural hair, (e.g., scalp).

• Do not use on patients with a known hypersensitivity to cyanoacrylate or formaldehyde.

Tissue glue is only applied to outside surfaces to bridge over edges; do not apply it directly to raw surfaces. The wound edges should be straight and lie together naturally. Insert a tampon, then clean and dry the skin thoroughly. Have your assistant stabilize the wound edges from top to bottom (be sure the edges are matched correctly). Insert your finger between the edges and pull it out to bring them forward slightly. This is to ensure that the wound edges are not rolled inward toward each other, but meet perfectly. It could also be accomplished with a tissue forceps. Hold gauze against the area immediately below the apex to catch and drips as you apply the glue. Apply tiny dots of glue sparingly at intervals where the wound edges meet. Or, apply a bead of tiny droplets to bridge the edges. (Thick applications do not enhance bonding and tend to crack and loosen prematurely.) Products dyed blue are easier to see. Be careful to apply the glue on where it is needed; glue removers should not the used in the genital area. As long as no part of the tube tip or the attached needle contacts the tissue or bodily fluids, the tube can be reused.

Use a hair dryer or fan the area dry, which takes about 30 seconds. Adhesive will stiffen when dry. Women should observe the same precautions as those who have refused sutures entirely. Bathing is not contraindicated but prolonged soaking should be avoided. Expect the adhesive to flake off in 3 to 7 days. Allergic reactions are very rare, but may include inflammation and swelling.
