OptiClose Essential Surgical Adhesive, 0.55 mL
OptiClose Essential Surgical Adhesive (0.55 mL) is a fast-acting skin adhesive used to close small surgical incisions and clean, low-tension wounds. The liquid formula bonds the skin edges together within seconds, creating a smooth, protective seal without the need for sutures or staples. It forms a flexible barrier that stays in place as the wound heals, making it a practical choice in U.S. outpatient surgery centers, urgent care clinics, and emergency departments.
The compact 0.55 mL applicator delivers controlled, precise placement, which helps clinicians close short incisions quickly and cleanly. Once applied, the adhesive dries into a thin, durable film that protects the wound from minor moisture and friction. It’s commonly used for dermatology procedures, small surgical repairs, and simple lacerations that require a clean, secure closure.
