Dermabond

Dermabond is a versatile line of topical skin adhesives that includes Dermabond Advanced, Dermabond Mini, and the Dermabond Prineo skin closure system. These products are specifically designed to ensure secure skin closures, which are essential for successful surgical outcomes and enhancing patient satisfaction. The Dermabond range addresses a variety of clinical requirements, making it a comprehensive solution for wound management.

Dermabond products have been proven to strengthen wound closures, provide effective microbial barriers, inhibit various infection-causing bacteria, and enhance patient comfort. With nearly two decades of trusted use, Dermabond is the only topical skin adhesive backed by more randomized controlled trials than the top six competitors combined. The Dermabond Prineo system uniquely combines 2-octyl cyanoacrylate with self-adhering mesh, backed by over eight US patents.

Manufactured by Ethicon, a Johnson & Johnson company with extensive surgical expertise, Dermabond is part of a broader portfolio that includes a range of surgical solutions such as shears, trocars, tissue sealers, hernia repair products, staplers, skin adhesives, and sutures.
