Randomized Controlled Trial of Octyl Cyanoacrylate Skin Adhesive versus Subcuticular Suture for Skin Closure after Implantable Venous Port Placement

Comparison of 2-Octylcyanoacrylate Versus 5-0 Fast-Absorbing Gut During Linear Wound Closures and the Effect on Wound Cosmesis

“…23 Similarly, several recent trials have demonstrated that wound closure with OCA offers comparable scar cosmesis compared to repair with sutures. [24][25][26][27][28][29] In accord with our results, a 2014 Cochrane review and meta-analysis found that wound closure with tissue adhesives resulted in significantly more episodes of wound dehiscence than sutures. 30 Strengths of this study include its use of a validated scar assessment tool by blinded observers, a priori data analysis, and larger sample size relative to similar published studies.…”

A novel approach wound closure for total joint arthroplasty procedures

“…Daykan et al [20] recently conducted a randomized trial and reported similar outcomes between Dermabond ® and monofilament epidermal sutures in cesarean procedures, including length of stay, closure time, closure appearance, blood loss, infections, and wound disruption. Martin et al [20] found no difference between cosmetic outcomes after closure with Dermabond ® and subcuticular sutures, although mean operative time was shorter in the Dermabond ® group (1.4 minutes vs. 8.6 minutes) [21].…”

A Revolutionary, Proven Solution to Vascular Access Concerns: A Review of the Advantageous Properties and Benefits of Catheter Securement Cyanoacrylate Adhesives

“…[17][18][19] A few studies that applied CSCAs as a catheter securement method have previously been carried out, all with favorable results for the use of CSCAs. [20][21][22][23] CSCAs, another term for tissue adhesives (TAs), have been recommended as a standard of practice for use with all catheter types in the 2021 Infusion Therapy Standards of Practice. 24 Notably, SecurePortIV Catheter Securement Adhesive (Adhezion Biomedical) is the first and only cyanoacrylate adhesive cleared by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for securing catheters and sealing catheter insertion sites.…”

“…CSCAs provide efficient and secure wound closure while also protecting a wound from microbial migration 17–19. A few studies that applied CSCAs as a catheter securement method have previously been carried out, all with favorable results for the use of CSCAs 20–23. CSCAs, another term for tissue adhesives (TAs), have been recommended as a standard of practice for use with all catheter types in the 2021 Infusion Therapy Standards of Practice.…”
