The use of histoacryl tissue adhesive for the primary closure of scalp wounds

R J Morton et al. Arch Emerg Med. 1988 Jun.

Abstract

A prospective evaluation of Histoacryl tissue adhesive for the repair of simple scalp wounds is described. Fifty wounds were repaired using the adhesive and, on examination 5 days later, 49 wounds were fully healed, the remaining wound having only a small area of dehiscence. The advantage of this method of wound repair is discussed.
