- Histoacryl® topical skin adhesive is not to be applied below the surface of the skin. The liquid adhesive will react exothermically with tissue; the polymerized adhesive is not absorbed by any tissues and may elicit a foreign body reaction.
- Histoacryl® is not to be applied to any internal organs, blood vessels, nerve tissue, mucosal surfaces or mucocutaneous junctions, areas with dense natural hair, or within the conjunctival sac of the eye.
- Histoacryl® is not to be applied to the surface of the eye. If the eyelids are accidentally bonded closed, release eyelashes with warm water by covering with a wet pad. The adhesive will bond to eye protein and will cause periods of weeping which will help to debond the adhesive. Keep the eye covered until debonding is complete – usually within 1 to 3 days. Do not force the eye open.
- Histoacryl® is not to be applied to wounds subject to high skin tension, or on areas of increased skin tension such as the elbows, knees, or knuckles. Histoacryl® is not to be used in areas of skin excision.
- Histoacryl® is not to be applied to wounds that show evidence of infection, gangrene or wounds of decubitus etiology.
- Histoacryl® is not to be used on patients with known preoperative systemic infections, uncontrolled diabetes, or diseases or conditions that are known to interfere with the wound healing process.
- Histoacryl® is not to be used on patients with a known hypersensitivity to cyanoacrylate, formaldehyde, or the dye D&C Violet #2.
