FloraSeal®

SurgiSeal is a topical cyanoacrylate skin adhesive that provides the optimal balance between strength and flexibility for closing lacerations, wounds, and surgical incisions.

A: SurgiSeal is designed as a topical application for surgical incisions and wounds with approximated edges. It is especially suited for use on lacerations of the torso, limbs, and face. SurgiSeal also can be used in conjunction with subcuticular and/or subcutaneous sutures when these are clinically indicated, as well as with punctures. In Emergency Room situations, the use of SurgiSeal will depend on the type of laceration presented, but it is estimated that upwards of one third of wounds presented in Emergency Room settings could be treated using SurgiSeal. In all cases, the wound edges should have minimal tension and be easily approximated.

Although SurgiSeal is very easy to apply, Adhezion strongly urges doctors and other wound care specialists to complete training in the appropriate application of the adhesive before using it in a clinical setting.

Wounds should be prepared employing the same techniques, including cleaning and debriding, used for wound closure with sutures or other wound closure modalities.
