The Product

What is DERMABOND® and why do
Olympic trainers and athletes trust it?

DERMABOND® is a liquid bonding agent that holds many cuts, wounds, and incisions together as effectively as stitches do.1,2 It′s the strong, flexible, needle-free wound closure choice that puts you back into your day-to-day life-and athletes back into the game.3,4

Exceptional wound protection.

Not only does DERMABOND® provide a strong, fast hold, it's a layer of protection from the bacteria that may lead to infection.1 Plus, DERMABOND® is waterproof, so you can shower immediately.1,5 You'll know your doctor is using the best when they use the skin adhesive with the purple tint.

The comfort you want.

Many people like DERMABOND® because it comes off by itself as the wound heals, and there's no pain or discomfort from bandages and dressings, or the removal of stitches or staples.1,5

Easy on your skin.

Since there are no stitches, there are none of the discolorations or "track marks" that stitches can leave around wounds and incisions.3 DERMABOND® is especially desirable for the sensitive skin on your face.5,3 That's why so many surgeons prefer to use DERMABOND®.1
