MUNER FILHO, Rolf et al. Comparative histological analysis among repair of skin wounds treated by suture with nylon and the adhesive octyl-2-cyanoacrylate in rats. RFO UPF [online]. 2010, vol.15, n.3, pp. 261-265. ISSN 1413-4012.

INTRODUCTION: The suture of surgical wounds is conceited as the body of maneuver to aim the closure of separated tissues or separated during surgical acts of incision or disruption, allowing its closure in a way to have a correct heal, and at the same time, intending the search of esthetic harmony of incised tissues. The objective in this paper is to histologically evaluate wounds treated with Mononylon 4-0 and octyl-2-cyanoacrylate. METHODS: For its development, we used seven Wistar lineage rats, and in each back, were made two surgical wounds, one treated by suture with Mononylon 4-0 and the other with the adhesive Octyl-2-cyanoacrylate. The samples were then collected in 24h, 48h, 72h and 7 postoperative days. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: it can be observed that Octyl-2-cyanoacrylate showed wound healing similar to that with Mononylon 4-0, but this last one needed less time to close the wound, with easiness in the approach of the borders.
