Skin that has been injured in an accident or during a surgical intervention usually has to be closed with a medical device. In addition to traditional sutures, surgeons may also use a skin adhesive: Histoacryl® contains monomeric n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate which polymerizes rapidly in contact with skin fluids, Histoacryl® is dyed which allows easy control of the amount used, Histoacryl® is sold in a plastic ampoule, packed in an aluminium package and can also be kept outside the refrigerator.
