Description
Animus Medbond Animal Skin Glue for use in Cats, Dogs and Small Animals – and camelids!
An excellent product for surgical incisions, lacerations, abrasions and cuts. Medbond Animal Skin Glue is particularly useful for closing skin lacerations that may occur at shearing time. The disposable applicator tips enable precise placement of adhesive. The Skin Glue acts as a barrier to keep foreign matter from entering the wound. It forms a thin, flexible, waterproof bandage in just one second upon contact with moist wound surfaces, ensuring rapid wound coverage and protection, similar to liquid skin. Medbond Skin Glue is painless to apply and not only seals wounds but also protects exposed nerve endings, providing pain relief and comfort for the wound area.
Only use within 6-8 hours of injury – longer and you increase the risk of sealing in infection.
If removal is required, the skin glue can be removed with acetone.
