Mastisol Medical Liquid Adhesive 2/3 mL Vials, Four (4) Vials

Works super well for my port dressing. My previous infusion company carried it, but my current one doesn’t. Without it, my dressing sweats off SO easily (especially in summer). Cavilon actually makes it stick less, so I had to buy these myself for my weekly dressing change. I’ve only had one tube break open when “popping” it open, and I’ve ordered sets of these probably 6 times by now. I recommend wearing gloves when applying it (I sometimes have to use it to reinforce my dressing with additional dressings) because it’s really sticky and hard to wash off. They’re sterile until open, which is key to being able to use it during a sterile port access. I think the smell is pleasant, it smells like pine trees to me.

These Mastisol liquid adhesive vials are compact, neatly packaged, and convenient for situations where you need a strong skin adhesive without opening a large bottle. The small vial size helps keep application controlled and makes them easy to store in a first-aid kit, medical bag, or travel supply case. I also like having four individually packaged vials because it feels cleaner and more practical than repeatedly opening the same container. Mastisol is designed to help improve the hold of tapes, dressings, and certain medical devices, so proper skin preparation and following the product directions are important. It is definitely one of those products that proves something tiny can be surprisingly serious about its job. Just remember: medical adhesive is great when you want something to stay put less great when you forget how committed it is before removal.

I used this on an area of my hand where a bandaid wouldn't stay in place. It wasn't perfect and I had to add to it once after using my hand a bit too much. However, it did keep the area closed and provided some protection to the cut area. This is great for small slices and dices. Anything past that is going to need Steri Strips and this product. Overall, I would order it again. I haven't had to due to the number of vials I got for the price.

Work good

Very Effective. I use this to help my Dexcom Sensors Stick, Since I have been using it I have not had one issue with them adhering. I switched from the vials to a Spray Bottle version for Value and Ease of Use. The only Complaint I have with this Version is the Cost per Vial is a little high when compared to the spray bottle.

Must have for your first aid kit

Did not always hold together the cuts

I bought these because Dermabond is so darn expensive, so disappointing... The smell of this stuff is nauseating, a cross between sour rubbing alcohol, open wound, and hospital. Also, the glue 'cures' almost immediately, which is good, BUT it remains tacky until it wears off, which is bad because it attracts dirt and lint which obviously stick to the area like glue, pardon the pun. Its a terrible product, get 'Skin-Patch' its under $5 and available at pretty much any bowling alley, and it SEALS the wound entirely, although burns quite a bit on an open wound, like iodine does. Really dont waste your time here. Honestly, Regular CA super-glue is probably the best way to bond skin, and close a wound, and it is entirely safe, combat medics have been using the stuff since Vietnam..
