SkinStitch Skin Adhesive With Applicator

More Information

• How to Apply:
  - It is a great way to close and protect most minor wounds
  - For optimum results and to lessen scarring, wound edges should be straight and lie together naturally
  - Clean and dry the skin thoroughly
  - Stabilize the wound edges from top to bottom and be sure the edges are matched correctly
  - Ensure that the wound edges are flat, meet perfectly and are not rolled under
  - Apply a series of small dots of SkinStitch glue sparingly at wound edges, but not in the wound
  - The dots allow for better control of the glue application
  - While holding the edges together, use the applicator to pull the adhesive across to the other side of the wound
  - Thus, you are essentially creating a bridge across the wound
  - Hold for 30 seconds while the glue hardens
  - Apply a second thin layer
  - Two or three thin layers are better than one thick layer, as thick applications do not enhance bonding and tend to crack and loosen prematurely
  - No further dressing is required
• After Care Instructions:
  - Keep the treated area clean and dry
  - Do not soak or go swimming
  - Shower briefly, pat the area dry, do not rub
  - Do not pick at the liquid bandage
  - Let the SkinStitch fall off on its own (This will generally occur at the 7 to 10 day mark)
  - If your doctor tells you to change a Steri Strip bandage avoid putting the sticky part of bandage directly over the SkinStitch
  - Infection or pulling apart of the edges require immediate consultation
  - If you notice warmth or redness increasing, contact your physician
  - Do not apply an antibiotic ointment
  - This actually causes the molecules of the glues bond to breakdown faster
  - For 12 months, be meticulous about putting sunscreen on the treated area to avoid pigment changes in the new skin
  - Avoid sun bathing or tanning lights
