Abstract
A plastic adhesive methyl 2-cyanoacrylate (Eastman 910 Monomer) which polymerizes
on pressure was used as a hemostatic agent in combination with a reinforcing muscle
patch. It was found to be effective in the heparinized and nonheparinized animal and
to provide a bond which remained secure at systolic blood pressure levels of 300 to
400 mm. Hg. No evidence of toxicity, excessive adhesion formation, or intravascular
thrombosis was found when the plastic used was in the amounts required to control
bleeding.
It is felt that this adhesive should be a useful adjuvant as a hemostatic agent in
the clinical situation where uncontrolled bleeding from major blood vessels is encountered
during surgery.
