Health condition and Intervention

Section to complete information about the primary medical condition(s) or problem(s) studied and, a characteristics of the intervention(s).

Health condition(s) or Problem(s) studied:

Surgical and traumatic wonds

Health condition(s) code:

Wounds and Injuries

Intervention(s):

Closure of traumatic and surgical wounds. Treatment was done within standard medical practice. In cases of multiple eligible wounds, all were treated with the product. However, only the biggest one was considered for the study. In Endoscopic Surgery all wounds were taken into account. The following steps were taken with laceration wounds: 1.- Cleansing with soap and water. 2.- Wounds were dried with sterile gauze. Bleeding was stopped through compression when necessary. 3.- Wound edges were approximated with the fingers. Microdrops of the product were applied on the surface of the approximated wound edges forming a fine film. The application was begun over the firmer part of the wound. Any excess product was separated with a flat instrument. 4.- Manual pressure was maintained for 60 seconds. Tisuacryl was applied on surgical wounds in the same way except for the inclusion of step 1. All ampoules were previously disinfected with clorhexidine before their introduction into the operating room. After applying the product, any remaining was discarded and not used in other patients. The same ampoule was used in a given patient if he had more than one wound. The product does not permit ulterior corrections so a careful initial and definite approximation of the wound edges must be done. In case dressings were needed, the product should be completely dry to avoid adhesion to other materials. Patients were told to shower with the applied tissue adhesive on the wound. However they must avoid scratching or injuring the wound in order to preserve the sealing effect of the product and prevent possible dehiscence. No topical creams or disinfectant solutions were applied over the sealed wound. Precautions were taken so chronic asthma patients did not inhale the vapors of the product. Contact of the product with gloves, dressings, or other material adhered to the skin was avoided. In case the product was spilled, lots of warm water was applied and acetone was used to cleanse the non damaged areas of the skin. Patients were told to return after a week to assess the wound.
