The Ethicon DERMABOND ADVANCED® Topical Skin Adhesive ANX12 is a sterile, non-absorbable liquid skin adhesive formulated with 2-octyl cyanoacrylate for secure topical wound closure. Featuring an enhanced applicator design, DERMABOND ADVANCED® allows for improved control and precise adhesive placement during surgical procedures.

Upon application, the adhesive polymerises rapidly to form a strong, flexible protective film that bonds wound edges and provides a microbial barrier. The non-absorbable film gradually sloughs off naturally as the skin heals, eliminating the need for suture or staple removal in appropriate cases.

DERMABOND ADVANCED® is commonly used for closure of clean surgical incisions, minimally invasive procedure sites, and simple, well-approximated lacerations. Supplied sterile and single-use in a Box of 12, ANX12 is intended for professional clinical application only.
