Meet the DERMABOND® Family
THE WORLD’S MOST TRUSTED WOUND CLOSURE PRODUCTS
DERMABOND® is a precisely balanced formulation unlike any other TSA on the market
Our proprietary formulation is a precisely balanced combination of three carefully sourced components. There is no other brand with the same formula.
Topical skin adhesives (TSAs) are an integral part of a successful clinical outcome.
When deciding which TSA to use, clinical study information on closure strength, microbial protection, patient comfort, and cosmesis allows healthcare practitioners to evaluate which product will provide the greatest benefits for their patients.
DERMABOND® Skin Adhesives is backed by an extensive body of published literature that has been shown to provide superior strength versus other commercially available TSA’s and also has benefits that enhance patient comfort and cosmetic outcomes.
