Yes, DERMABOND ADVANCED provides a significant microbial barrier. It has been proven in vitro to offer greater than 99% protection against common surgical site infection (SSI) organisms for up to 72 hours.
Does it improve wound closure strength?
Absolutely. When used in conjunction with deep dermal sutures, it provides 75% more strength to the wound closure compared to using sutures alone, reinforcing structural integrity.
Is the applicator easy to control for precision?

- Surgical incisions (including minimally invasive procedures).
- Thoroughly cleansed lacerations.
Is the applicator designed for multiple uses?
No, to ensure optimal sterility and performance, each device is a single-use, pen-style applicator.
Is it easy to hold during medical procedures?
The applicator features an ergonomic, tapered form that is intuitive to handle, allowing clinicians to maintain a steady grip and high precision during application in busy clinical settings like operating rooms or emergency departments.
