Acts as a topical barrier/sealant to hold wound edges together during healing. Benefits include non-invasive wound closure and ease of application. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. Testing performed in accordance with FDA's Class II Special Controls Guidance Document for Tissue Adhesive for the Topical Approximation of Skin. Metrics included tensile strength (ASTM F2458-05), polymerization time, viscosity, and GC chemical analysis. ## Technological Characteristics n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate monomer; liquid form; polymerizes on contact with moisture. Supplied in 0.5 ml plastic ampoules. Tensile strength testing per ASTM F2458-05. No electronic or software components. ## Regulatory Identification A tissue adhesive for the topical approximation of skin is a device intended for topical closure of surgical incisions, including laparoscopic incisions, and simple traumatic lacerations that have easily approximated skin edges. Tissue adhesives for the topical approximation of skin may be used in conjunction with, but not in place of, deep dermal stitches. ## Special Controls *Classification.* Class II (special controls). The special control for this device is FDA's “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: “Tissue Adhesive for the Topical Approximation of Skin.” See § 878.1(e) of this chapter for the availability of this guidance document.(b) *Tissue adhesive for non-topical use* —(1)*Identification.* A tissue adhesive for non-topical use, including adhesives intended for use in the embolization of brain arteriovenous malformation or for use in ophthalmic surgery, is a device used for adhesion of internal tissues and vessels.(2) *Classification.* Class III (premarket approval).
