Derma+Flex QS High Viscosity Tissue Adhesive is a sterile, liquid topical skin adhesive containing a monomeric (2-octyl cyanoacrylate) formulation and the colorant D & C Violet #2. It is provided in a single use aluminium collapsible tube packaged in a Tyvek pouch also containing 2 Indothene HD Grade HD50MA180 applicator tips. The dauber applicator is comprised of a self-puncturing cap and a foam surface, which allows spreading of the adhesive with uniformity. The nozzle applicator is also a self-puncturing cap with an elongation that enables detailed application of the adhesive. As applied to skin, the liquid is syrup-like in viscosity and polymerizes within minutes.

Derma+Flex QS High Viscosity Tissue Adhesive has a syrup-like viscosity. The increased viscosity Derma+Flex QS is intended to reduce the risk of unintended placement of the adhesive during application due to migration of the liquid adhesive from the wound site. In vitro studies have shown that Derma+Flex QS high viscosity tissue adhesive acts as a barrier to microbial penetration as long as the adhesive film remains intact. Clinical studies were not conducted to demonstrate microbial barrier properties.

Features

• 2-OCTYL FORMULATION Optimal Flexibility No Cracking or Breaking
• QUICK DRYING Polymerizes (dries) quickly, usually within 60 seconds.
• MICROBIAL BARRIER Protects the affected area by preventing bacteria from penetrating the adhesive barrier so long as adhesive is intact.
• PAINLESS APPLICATION No Sting or Burn

Indications

• Derma+Flex QS High Viscosity Tissue Adhesive is intended for topical application only to hold closed easily approximated skin edges of wounds from surgical incisions, including punctures from minimally invasive surgery, and simple, thoroughly cleansed, trauma-induced lacerations. Derma+Flex QS™ High Viscosity Tissue Adhesive may be used in conjunction with, but not in place of, deep dermal sutures.

Contraindications

• Do not use on any wound with evidence of active infection, gangrene, or wounds of decubitus etiology.
• Do not use on mucosal surfaces or across mucocutaneous junctions (e.g., oral cavity, lips), or on skin which may be regularly exposed to body fluids or with dense natural hair, (e.g., scalp).
• Do not use on patients with a known hypersensitivity to cyanoacrylate or formaldehyde.
