2-Octyl cyanoacrylate adhesives are
super strong adhesives which are categorized as wound glue or tissue
glue. Cyanoacrylate is the generic name of a family of super strong
glues that are capable of joining any type of surfaces instantly.
Cyanoacrylate based adhesives are extensively used in many applications
including industrial, medical and domestic applications. 2-Octyl
cyanoacrylate however is mainly used in medical, veterinary and first
aid applications. Cyanoacrylates have a property by virtue of which they
solidify rapidly on contact with weak bases such as water and blood and
are used for endoscopic applications.
The market for 2-Octyl cyanoacrylate
adhesives is driven by its application in surgical procedures and
treatment. The compound has been approved by the Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) for application to close wounds and incised skin.
It also acts as a barrier to certain bacterial microbes such as
staphylococci, Escherichia coli and pseudomonads among some others.
Application of the adhesive post surgery is cost effective as compared
to traditional method of stitching the wound.

Although the cost of 2-Octyl
cyanoacrylate adhesives is high, the overall expense of equipment and
labor cost involved with sutures surpasses it. Application of glue to
close incised skin also does not require the use of anesthetics and is
relatively painless, which renders it an attractive alternative to
patients and physicians alike. The cosmetic appearance of the closed
wound is comparable to that achieved by sutures, and proper
implementation of the glue can help in preventing scars.
Some medical applications where it is
used are total joint anthroplasty wounds, implantation of pacemakers,
patch fixation in inguinal herniorraphy and repair of fractured tooth
among some others. Although sutures are still favored by many
physicians, the acceptability and application of 2-Octyl cyanoacrylate
adhesives have picked up over the past few years since its approval and
the market is expected to expand with time and application in more
medical applications.
However there are certain restrictions
to the use of 2-Octyl cyanoacrylate adhesives to close wounds. The skin
bonding adhesive is not advisable for use in certain cases such as deep
wounds with broken skin edges, infected or crushed wounds, wounds
developed from animal bites, skin in high tension areas (Knees, elbows
etc.), skin in high friction areas (buttocks, perineum) and wounds that
have been open for more than 12 hours. Moreover the success percentage
of tissue glues in comparison to sutures in slightly poor. According to
estimates about 4% of the wounds closed by means of 2-Octyl
cyanoacrylate adhesives reopen, as compared to 1-2% in sutures.
North America is the largest market
for 2-Octyl cyanoacrylate adhesives and account for a lion’s share of
the global market. Europe is the second largest market for the compound
followed by Asia Pacific. Asia Pacific region however has the maximum
potential owing to its huge population base and increasingly efficient
healthcare solutions. Other forms of cyanoacrylate which are used in
industries and domestic applications have the highest market share in
Asia and its popularity in medical applications is a matter of time.
