INFORMATION ------- SUPPLEMENTAL PAGE |
| Cyanoacrylate adhesive is a very fast setting and strong adhesive.
It bonds human tissue including skin in seconds. Experience had shown that accidents
due to Cyanoacrylate are handled best by passive, non surgical first aid. The
treatment of specific types of accidents is given below. Skin Contact
Remove
excess adhesive. Soak in warm, soapy water. The adhesive will become soft and
will peel off from the skin. Cured adhesive does not pose any danger even when
bonded with skin. Avoid contact with clothes fabric, rags or tissue. Contact with
these materials will cause polymerization. The polymerization of large amount
of adhesive will generate heat causing smoke, sun burns and strong irritating
vapors. Wear PE gloves and apron when handling large amount of adhesive.
Skin Adhesion
First
immerse the bonded surface in warm, soapy water. Peel or roll the surfaces apart
with the aid of a blunt edge, e.g. spatula or a teaspoon handle; then apart with
direct opposing action.
Eyelid to Eyelid or Eyeball Adhesion
In the event when eyelids are stuck together
or bonded to the eye ball, w ash thoroughly with warm water and apply a gauze.
The eye will open without further action, typically in 1 - 4 days. There will
be no residual damage. Do not try to open the eyes by manipulation
Adhesive on the Eyeball
Cyanoacrylate
introduced into the eyes will attach itself to the eye protein and will dissociate
from it over intermittent periods, generally covering several hours. This will
cause periods of weeping until clearance is achieved. During the period of contamination,
double vision may be experienced together with the lachrymatory effect, and it
is important to understand the cause and realize that dissociation will normally
occur within a matter of hours, even with gross contamination.
Mouth
f
lips are accidentally stuck together, apply lots of warm water to the lips and
encourage maximum wetting and pressure from saliva inside the mouth. Peel or roll
lips apart. Do not try to pull the lips with direct opposing action. It is almost
impossible to swallow Cyanoacrylate. The adhesive solidifies and adheres in the
mouth, saliva will lift the adhesive in one or two days. In case a lump forms
in the mouth, position the patient to prevent ingestion of the lump when it detaches.
Burns
Cyanoacrylate gives off heat on solidification.
In rare cases, a large drop will increase in temperature enough to cause a burn.
Burn should be treated normally after the lump of of Cyanoacrylate is released
from the tissue as described above.
Surgery
It should never be necessary to use such a drastic method
to separate accidentally bonded skin. |
