Article Synopsis
- Cyanoacrylate-based adhesives are commonly used for wound closure, offering good cosmetic outcomes and minimal discomfort, but they may release harmful chemicals during biodegradation.
- The study evaluated four types of cyanoacrylate adhesives and nylon stitches on skin incisions in 140 animals, finding that n-2-octyl-cyanoacrylate (G4) resulted in faster wound closure, while nylon stitches (G5) showed initially greater strength but decreased over time.
- Overall, cyanoacrylate adhesives led to less inflammation and quicker healing compared to nylon sutures, with varying effects on cell response and collagen types among the groups studied.
