Journal Title: MedPulse -International Medical Journal - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 12

Abstract

The skin closure by adhesives (Glue) is quick method of skin approximation. It reduces closure time by half in comparison of stapler technique and the one tenth of the conventional techniques. Glue leaves a hair line scar whereas other method gives additional pins & suture marks on both side of incision line. Glue gives no pain which a patient experiences during suture / stapler.
