ABSTRACT:
Methods and compositions for closing and sealing a wound, laceration, incision, or other percutaneous opening using an adhesive. In one preferred embodiment, the sides of the percutaneous opening are brought together in apposition and the adhesive is applied to the opening and the skin immediately adjacent thereto. Adhesives used in the methods exhibit sufficient viscosity to substantially prevent flow of the adhesive into the percutaneous opening. In a preferred embodiment, the adhesive is a sealing medium comprising an adhesive component and a microparticulate component. Preferred sealing media comprise cyanoacrylates combined with fumed silica. In such embodiments, the fumed silica is present in an amount sufficient to substantially prevent the medium from flowing into the opening at normal skin temperature.
