Activity Description

2-octyl cyanoacrylate is one of the most commonly used commercially available wound adhesives. Current indications include any easily approximated surgical incision wound or properly cleaned lacerations from trauma in dry areas and have minimal friction. Additionally, 2-octyl cyanoacrylate is approved for use in combination with subcuticular sutures for deeper or higher tension wounds, though its use in higher tension areas should be limited to immobilized areas. This activity reviews the indications, contraindications, administration, and adverse effects of 2-octyl cyanoacrylate for wound closure and highlights the role of the interprofessional team in the effective use of this substance.


Target Audience

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this activity, the learner will be better able to:

  • Identify the indications and contraindications for the usage of 2-octyl cyanoacrylate.

  • Summarize the risk of wound infection associated with 2-octyl cyanoacrylate for wound closure with that of suture repair.

Hi All, Please fix the website. It is extremely frustrating to use! The questions get repeated over and over again. It freezes and doesn't advance to the next question or page for quite a long time. This happens over and over again. Arggghh... It's very frustrating, because it takes so much longer to read the articles and answer the questions than it should. Many thx.
