ACTABOND Topical Skin Adhesive is intended for topical application only, to hold closed easily approximated skin edges of wounds from surgical incisions from minimally invasive surgery, and simple, thoroughly cleansed, trauma-induced lacerations. ACTABOND Topical Skin Adhesive may be used in conjunction with, but not in place of, deep dermal stitches.

ACTABOND Topical Skin Adhesive is a skin closure device that is comprised of a 2-octyl cyanoacrylate liquid adhesive formulation containing D & C Violet #2. The liquid adhesive is supplied sterile within a single use dispensing applicator, which is used to deliver the adhesive to the skin. Once applied, the liquid adhesive polymerizes to form a thin film with strong bonding and tensile properties. In vitro studies have shown that following application, ACTABOND Adhesive acts as a barrier to prevent bacterial penetration. The barrier properties of ACTABOND Adhesive have not been studied in clinical or animal models.
