Cyanoacrylate Adhesives in Surgical Applications

Emerging bioadhesives: from traditional bioactive and bioinert to a new biomimetic protein-based approach

“…Cyanoacrylate is the most widely known bioinert material, where it stands as the most commercialised FDA approved bioadhesive. As a result of this success, reviews solely based on cyanoacrylate bioadhesives have been published [103,104]. Dominance in the bioadhesive arises from the strong bonding strength that transpires from the amalgamation of two main mechanisms of adhesion; (i) chemical bonding and (ii) mechanical interlocking.…”
