Protection gets everywhere.
In addition to traditional skin suturing, surgeons can use a tissue adhesive.
The tissue adhesive Histoacryl consists of monomeric n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate, which polymerises quickly in connection with tissue fluid. Histoacryl is available in two colours: translucent, special for facial application, and blue, which enables an easy control over the quantity applied.
The formation of esophageal and fundal varices is a common and dangerous consequence of portal hypertension. Effective sclerosation of these varices is possible with Histoacryl. It can be employed for nonbleeding and for bleeding varices. Combined therapy with Histoacryl and conventional sclerosation therapy is possible.
