Description
Leukosan Adhesive is a specialized topical skin adhesive designed for effective wound closure in medical and first aid settings. Its unique formulation combines 2-octyl and n-butyl cyanoacrylate monomers, providing a high-viscosity solution that ensures precise application without accidental running.
Key Features
-
Flexible Film Formation: Upon application, it forms a flexible, waterproof film that adapts seamlessly to skin movements, making it ideal for wounds in areas prone to flexing, such as elbows, knees, and between fingers and toes.
-
Violet/Purple Tint: The adhesive's violet/purple color enhances visibility during application and turns transparent once set, ensuring discreet wound management.
-
Comfortable Use: It generates little to no heat sensation, offering a pain-free experience suitable for both adults and children.
Packaging and Applicators
Leukosan Adhesive is supplied in a 0.7 mL metal or aluminium tube, accompanied by two applicator tips—fine and broad. This allows for tailored application, whether precision or broader coverage is needed. The adhesive is available in single units or in boxes of ten, with some options offering 0.36 mL tubes.
Application Instructions
- Preparation: Clean and dry the wound thoroughly.
- Application: Shake the tube and apply a thin layer over the wound using the chosen applicator tip.
- Drying: Allow the adhesive to dry naturally, typically within a minute.
- Peeling: The adhesive will naturally peel off within 5 to 10 days.
Indications and Precautions
Leukosan Adhesive is intended for closing small incisions, cuts, and lacerations with little or no tension. It is not suitable for deep, gaping, or infected wounds, nor for use on wet skin, eyes, mouth, or mucous membranes. It can complement other closure methods like sutures, strips, or staples by providing additional infection control.
Storage and Handling
This product does not require refrigeration and is ready to use, offering convenience in various medical environments. Its sterile, disposable nature ensures hygienic application, aligning with professional healthcare standards.
