Dermafix is a specialized medical adhesive and wound closure system designed for cutaneous tissue repair and surgical incision management. The product utilizes advanced cyanoacrylate technology to create a flexible, antimicrobial barrier over wounds while maintaining optimal healing conditions.
The formulation incorporates octyl-2-cyanoacrylate monomers that polymerize upon contact with skin moisture, forming a strong, waterproof bond that mimics natural skin tension. This molecular structure allows for controlled vapor transmission while preventing bacterial infiltration through the wound site. The application process involves a sterile, single-use applicator that ensures precise delivery of the liquid adhesive.
Clinical studies demonstrate Dermafix’s effectiveness in reducing scarring through its microporous structure, which maintains wound hydration and promotes organized collagen deposition. The product exhibits tensile strength comparable to 5-0 sutures while eliminating needle trauma and cross-hatching marks. Its bacteriostatic properties persist throughout the healing phase, typically lasting 5-10 days before natural sloughing occurs with epithelialization.
