N Butyl Cyanoacrylate
About
N Butyl Cyanoacrylate is a tissue adhesive solution indicated for the prevention of bleeding, wound closure, sclerotherapy, and mesh fixation. N Butyl Cyanoacrylate is used as an adhesive for lacerations (cut/tear) of the skin, used to treat arteriovenous malformations (abnormal connections between veins and arteries), and bleeding gastric varices.
N Butyl Cyanoacrylate contains N-butyl-cyanoacrylate, which polymerises quickly in connection with the tissue fluids and hardens immediately, leading to the formation of a strong bond between the wound edges. Thus, help stop bleeding and promotes skin closure and healing.
N Butyl Cyanoacrylate is a chemically active, free-flowing liquid which helps in wound bonding. The procedure of tissue glueing is simple, quick, and effective for the closure of wounds without any complications in comparison to conventional suturing.
Avoid contact of N Butyl Cyanoacrylate with fingers, gloves or surgical instruments. N Butyl Cyanoacrylate should not be used in contaminated wounds as it might aggravate the infection. The thick application of N Butyl Cyanoacrylate should be avoided as it does not enhance the bonding and may also tend to loosen and crack prematurely.

Patients Concern
Disease/Condition Glossary
Laceration: A laceration is a wound that is caused by the tearing of soft body tissues. This kind of wound is generally irregular and jagged. Accidents with tools, knives, or machinery could lead to lacerations. A laceration may be caused by injury to a sharp object or due to impact injury from a blunt object. A laceration cut might be shallow or deep, short or long, and narrow or wide.
Arteriovenous malformations: It is the abnormal connection between veins and arteries, usually in the spine and brain. The arteries in such a condition can rupture, leading to bleeding in the brain/spine.
Bleeding gastric varices: Gastric varices are the dilated submucosal veins in the stomach lining that can cause bleeding in the upper gastrointestinal tract. These are most commonly found in patients with portal hypertension (high blood pressure in the portal vein), which could be a complication of cirrhosis.
