Evaluation of a new liquid occlusive dressing for excisional wounds
Wound Repair and Regeneration, 2003We evaluated a novel octylcyanoacrylate‐based liquid occlusive dressing for partial‐thickness wounds. One hundred and fifteen standardized wounds were created with an electric dermatome set at a depth of 600 µ on the flanks of three pigs and randomly treated with liquid occlusive dressing, a hydrocolloid dressing, or gauze.

It is clear that occlusive dressings are in many cases associated with more rapid reepithelialization, a reduced risk of infection, and more rapid wound
