On average octyl cyanoacrylate adhesives close a wound ten times faster than traditional sutures. The bonding strength of Gluture adhesive is equivalent to 5-0 monofilament suture. As a bonus, it has a mysterious anti-microbial effect that decreases the rate of infections. Cosmetically, a Gluture wound heals better, too. The adhesive normally sloughs off naturally in 5-7 days.

All of the cyanoacrylate adhesives offered by WPI are veterinary grade (not suitable for human application). Though very similar to the grade for human use, they are not sterile and do not have FDA approval.

    Why Octyl Cyanoacrylates Adhesives Are Best for Life Sciences

    Cyanoacrylate adhesives have been on the market since 1958. Most industrial or household grade cyanoacrylate (like Super Glue) are made of shorter alkyl chain derivatives such as methyl or ethyl cyanoacrylate (WPI #7341 and #7342). They are very useful for temporarily holding tissues such as mounting specimens for microtome sectioning. A family of adhesives containing octyl cyanoacrylate, a plasticizer and stabilizer, was developed In the 1990's (one of them approved by FDA for human use). When bonding to tissue, these new adhesives are four times stronger and less toxic than butyl cyanoacrylate. Compared with the traditional suture, the new super adhesive has several advantages.
