Description
Fast, secure, and flexible wound closure without traditional sutures.
Medline OptiClose Essential Topical Skin Adhesive is a sterile, high-viscosity liquid surgical adhesive designed for topical closure of simple lacerations, wounds, and minimally invasive surgical incisions.
Formulated with proprietary 2-octyl cyanoacrylate, OptiClose Essential polymerizes within minutes to form a durable, flexible, water-resistant protective barrier that helps maintain wound closure during healing.
Its precision applicator provides controlled coverage using less adhesive material, while the distinctive dark-violet tint improves visibility during application.
Designed for professional healthcare environments, OptiClose Essential offers a convenient alternative to conventional skin closure methods for appropriately selected wounds.
