ETHICON DERMABOND MINI AHVM12
The Ethicon Dermabond Mini AHVM12 is a sterile 2‑octyl cyanoacrylate topical skin adhesive designed for small incisions and lacerations. Each 0.36 mL ampoule comes in a compact applicator for quick, needle‑free closure. Supplied as a box of 12 single-use units.
Dermabond Mini provides a fast, secure closure by polymerizing into a flexible film that holds wound edges together in about 3 minutes. It offers a strong microbial barrier with up to 99% protection against common pathogens for 72 hours. The applicator features a crushable glass ampoule inside a plastic vial with a precision tip, allowing controlled application. Ideal for enhancing patient comfort and reducing follow-up care, it often eliminates the need for traditional sutures or dressings.
