- Abstract
The usage of tissue adhesives such as 2-octyl cyanoacrylate is a standard tool for closure of superficial wounds of the body. The benefits using 2-octyl cyanoacrylate are well known and appreciated by surgeons world wide. Especially in superficial or small wounds in children where no surgical procedure is wanted this technique is commonly used. However, so far the risks and possible complications after using 2-octyl cyanoacrylate are not sufficiently published and discussed.
