Dr Binoy Kumar Singh, Dr Naveed Anjum Qureshi

Abstract :

"Super Glue" or Cyanoacrylate (CA) is an acrylic resin which rapidly polymerises in the presence of water. The principle component of commercial CAs (SuperGlue, Krazy Glue, Loctite) is either methy–2–cyanoacrylate or ethyl–2–cyanoacrylate, the original forms of CA developed in 1942 by Kodak Laboratories. (The discovery was made whilst investigating potential, high clarity, acrylics for the use in gun sights. Whilst not suitable for this application CA was quickly identified as a fast acting, low shear strength adhesive.) AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: In the present study, we compare cyanoacrylate, adhesive closure of surgical incision with conventional methods Material and methods: This prospective study was conducted in orthocare hospital Delhi from May 1 2014 to may 2017. Inclusion criteria: All Patients admitted in surgical ward for elective surgery. Exclusion criteria: All patients with multiple comorbidities were excluded from the study. Conclusio: In conclusion, this controlled comparative study shows no difference in cosmetic aspect between adhesive and suture–treated skin incisions. Morphologically, the glue treatment is not related to any adverse effect .
