Medical adhesive is a specialized adhesive for bonding tissues or organs during surgical procedures and medical treatments.
Extensively utilized in surgeries, dental treatments, and catheter insertions, these adhesives are formulated from biocompatible resins, curing agents, and additives, ensuring their safety for use within the human body.
The operation principle of medical adhesives involves mixing the components to initiate a chemical reaction, forming an adhesive film. During surgery or treatment, tissues or organs are prepared, and the adhesive is applied, compressed, and cured. This process securely fastens the tissues or organs, providing stability during medical procedures. In surgical settings, they are utilized for wound closure, organ adhesion, and vascular anastomosis, among others. In medical treatments, they are applied in dental caries treatment, orthodontics, and transdermal patch application.
