3M VetBond Tissue Adhesive – 3mL

Description

VetBond Tissue Adhesive
By: 3M
Vetbond™ is used to bind tissue together for veterinary procedures so natural healing can occur.
Vetbond™ adhesive changes from a liquid to a solid state within seconds of making contact with body tissue.
Contains a blue dye, showing where the product has already been administered, making application of the product so much easier.
The adhesive stops minor bleeding and binds wound edges. In some instances, Vetbond may replace the need for sutures or bandages.
Recommended for dew claw removals, minor lacerations, abrasions, suture/staple line sealing, tooth extractions, and oral surgeries.
Vetbond™ also acts as a barrier to keep foreign matter from entering the wound. Each 3 ml bottle contains approximately 150 drops.
Ingredients: Vetbond™ Tissue Adhesive contains N-butyl cyanoacrylate (>98% by weight), Hydroquinone (<1 % by weight), and blue dye (.01% by weight).
Directions for Use:
Vetbond™ Tissue Adhesive must be at room temperature before use. Do not heat.  To open: Remove bottle cap and cut off bottle tip, and place flexible applicator tip on bottle. Vetbond™ adhesive may be used between stainless steel staples, but application of adhesive on staples may interfere with staple removal. When finished, remove excess adhesive in vial tip by holding bottle upright and gently squeeze single drop of adhesive out of tip onto a paper towel. Wipe bottle tip with the same paper towel. Replace bottle cap. Expel adhesive from applicator tip by pushing air through it from a standard syringe.
Indications:
Vetbond™ Tissue Adhesive is used to quickly and conveniently close minor wounds. Vetbond™ often eliminates the need for sutures or bandages. Creates a strong bond that polymerizes in seconds. Binds wound edges together to promote natural healing. Vetbond™ Tissue Adhesive is blue, making application easier to see.
Storage:
Store in a cool, dry place. Maintain product at room temperature during use. Product can be refrigerated or frozen for extended shelf life before opening. Store bottle upright on shelf in a cool, dry place (away from heat). After opening, do not return bottle to the refrigerator.
Cautions:
Avoid contact with skin and eyes. If in eyes, hold eyelids open and flush thoroughly with water. An ophthalmologist should be consulted. Use in well-ventilated area. Avoid breathing vapors over long periods of time. Avoid contact of adhesive with instruments, gloves and surgical instruments. Polymerized adhesive on instruments can be removed by soaking in acetone.
Do not use:
if adhesive appears thicker than water at room temperature. Thickened product has partially polymerized and will not form an acceptable bond internally, on infected and/or deep puncture wounds, or below the epidermal layer. in the presence of soaps, cotton products (gauze, cotton tipped applicators, etc.), basic substances (soaps, etc.) or polyurethane foam applicators. These materials may cause excessive exothermic (heat generating) reaction.
