Johnson & Johnson Medical Pty. Limited is a specialist provider of a comprehensive range of medical products for application in hospitals, day surgeries and clinics. The company supplies the Ethicon range of wound closure and cardiovascular surgery products including sutures, topical adhesives, surgical meshes as well as wound drains. These wound closure products are designed to support quick healing, enhance patient comfort and also provide superior cosmetic results. Dermabond adhesives are next generation topical skin adhesives that eliminate the need for sutures in wound closure treatment processes. These wound closure products are designed to provide a strong, water-resistant and flexible closure to enable the patient or recipient to lead an active life.
Dermabond is a liquid bonding agent that can hold cuts, wounds and incisions together as effectively as conventional sutures without the discomfort. These needle-free wound closure products hold the wound together and also provide a barrier protection against infection allowing the patient to take a shower immediately after the procedure. Dermabond wound closure products come off as the wound heals unlike conventional suture processes that involve manual removal of stitches or staples. These liquid skin adhesives also result in a better cosmetic effect than sutures that tend to leave distinct marks around the wound area. Typical application areas in the hospital environment include OB/GYN surgery, general surgery, cardiovascular surgery, cosmetic surgery and sports surgery.
