Abstract
To evaluate the use of octyl-2-cyanoacrylate liquid bandage (Band-Aid liquid, Ethicon, Johnson & Johnson, New Jersey, USA) as a temporary treatment in patients awaiting surgical repair for involutional entropion. Thirteen patients (15 eyelids) with involutional entropion were evaluated while they waited for surgical intervention. The lids were repositioned by the application of octyl-2-cyanoacrylate liquid bandage in the malar fold. Patients were followed-up at days 1, 7 and 15. Assessment and duration of correction were recorded. All the patients presented successful correction at day 1, with significant improvements in signs and symptoms. The mean duration of action of the octyl2-cyanoacrylate liquid bandage was three days. No ocular or dermatological reactions were noted. Octyl-2-cyanoacrylate liquid bandage showed to be a simple, safe and effective option to temporarily treat involutional entropion, while patients waited for surgical intervention.
