The effects of topical application of Octyl-2-cyanoacrylate tissue glue on the wound healing in mice : An experimental study * 1

Objective Management of patients with full thickness wound of skin continues to challenge physicians and surgeons in area of cosmetic dermatologic surgery. At the present time, there are some medications and procedures that can be used to accelerate the healing of full thickness wound of skin. Based on studies that have demonstrated improved upper eyelid wound healing with OCA (octyl-2-cyanoacrylate tissue glue) treatment, we anticipated that OCA will accelerate healing of full thickness wound of skin. The aim of research is to evaluate the efficacy of OCA in accelerating healing of full thickness wound of skin in
