Tensile Strength of Surgical Skin Adhesives: A Novel Wound Closure Test.

CONCLUSIONS: The study indicates this wound closure test has the potential to be an ideal testing method for predicting the strength of a wound-sealing adhesive subjected to a pulling or stretching force. The topical skin adhesive that demonstrated the highest mean strength of the 7 cyanoacrylate adhesive products tested potentially could be the optimal wound closure device for low- or high-tension incisions in conjunction with deep dermal sutures.
