Biocompatible adhesive that is four times stronger than butyl cyanoacrylate and less toxic

Cyanoacrylate adhesives have been on the market since 1958. Most industrial or household grade cyanoacrylate is made of shorter alkyl chain derivatives such as methyl or ethyl cyanoacrylate (WPI #7341 and #7342).

Features

  • Bonds tissue
  • Use in place of sutures for small animal surgery
  • Blue dye for easy-to-see drop application
  • Antimicrobial effect
  • Use in forensic science
  • Butyl Cyanoacrylate
  • Low toxicity
  • Cures in < 10 seconds

 

Vetbond is an n-butyl Cyanoacrylate adhesive that quickly and conveniently closes minor wounds. It cures in seconds after contact with tissue and body fluids and binds wound edges together so natural healing can occur.

Compared with the traditional suture, vetbond adhesive has several advantages.

  • Close incisions in one-tenth of the time
  • Bonding strength is equal to 5-0 monofilament sutures
  • Antimicrobial effect that can decrease infection rates in contaminated wounds
  • Bonding sloughs off naturally in 5 to 7 days requiring no followup
  • Cosmetic appearance of the healed incision is also better

 

All of the cyanoacrylate low toxicity adhesives offered by WPI are veterinary grade. They are 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.
