ETHICON Dermabond mini wound protection 0.36ml AHVM12

DERMABOND is a sterile, liquid, external-to-use topical skin adhesive.  DERMABOND can be used alone or as a superficial supplement to absorbable sutures placed inside a wound.  Clinical studies have shown that after application DERMABOND skin adhesive acts as a shield against the penetration of microbes in a healing wound.
