Dermabond is a type of medical glue that is used to close wounds or incisions. The active ingredient in Dermabond is cyanoacrylate, which is a type of synthetic adhesive. Cyanoacrylate is also commonly used in other types of adhesives, such as superglue.
In addition to cyanoacrylate, Dermabond also contains other ingredients that help to give the glue its unique properties. These may include plasticizers, stabilizers, and pigments, among others.
Overall, Dermabond is designed to provide a strong, flexible bond that can help to hold the edges of a wound or incision together while they heal. It is often used as an alternative to traditional sutures or staples, and can be particularly useful in situations where a quick, easy closure is needed.
