Abstract
Introduction: The benefits of assisting closure by holding the opposing edges of a wound together have been recognized in the last 5000 years. There are several well-proven techniques of skin closure using a variety of materials like braided or monofilament material, absorbable and nonabsorbable conventional suture materials, metal clips and adhesive tapes. Conventional skin suturing techniques do have certain disadvantages. From the past three decades, many new biomaterials have been discovered in the medical field. Bio-adhesives are one among them. These materials when applied on the incised tissues possess the ability to bind them together. This group of adhesives are called Cyanoacrylates. The purpose of the study was to compare the efficacy and clinical outcome of the two techniques of wound closure by using conventional polypropylene suturing and cyanoacrylate glue.
