Severe allergic reaction to Dermabond

Arthur W Perry et al. Aesthet Surg J. 2009 Jul-Aug.

Abstract

The use of 2-octyl cyanoacrylate (Dermabond; Ethicon, Somerville, NJ) for wound closure is increasingly popular. Problems with Dermabond are generally related to application techniques and rarely relate to the chemical nature of the adhesive. This article describes a severe allergic reaction to Dermabond following breast augmentation/mastopexy.
