GluStitch® is similar to the various “Krazy Glues” available in hardware stores, however the wound closure material is made under GMP conditions and is purified for medical use. Within the vial it is liquid, however once exposed to moisture (hydroxyl ions), polymerization begins, and a bond is formed.

In most everyday situations where glues are used, two surfaces are bonded together by placing glue between them.

This is NOT how wound repair is accomplished.
