The Cutiva PLUS system, which includes a surgical mesh and the adhesive, is designed for easy removal, minimising skin damage and is versatile across various surgical fields.

The mesh gives more strength instead of sutures, and it would be placed on the skin and covered with adhesive. This creates a soft, flexible, strong, strengthened barrier that will better protect the surgical site while it heals.

Resivant Medical CEO Darren Obrigkeit said: “The Cutiva platform signifies a fundamental breakthrough in cyanoacrylate adhesive technology for surgical incision and traumatic laceration closure.

“Cutiva adhesive’s unique chemistry maintains a clean incision site without the need for additional dressings and is formulated to significantly reduce the level of exposure to skin irritants.”
