Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Medical glue as a biological hemostatic material shows a good diffusivity in body fluids and blood, and has a rapid polymerization reaction, which plays an ideal hemostatic effect and promotes wound healing.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the clinical value of medical glue as a hemostatic material in the open wound of the frontal plane in children.
METHODS: Totally 1 218 children with open wounds of the frontal plane treated with medical glue were enrolled as observation group, and another 600 children with open wounds of the frontal plane treated with silk sutures as control group. Wound healing time, postoperative wound bleeding, suture reaction, pigmentation and scar hyperplasia were compared between the two groups.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Compared with the control group, the operative time, blood loss and wound healing time were all less in the observation group (P < 0.05), and the effective bleeding rate was higher in the
observation group (P < 0.05). Stage I wound healing occurred in 1 215 cases of the observation group, and 586 cases of the control group. At the end of 12-month follow-up, healed scar formed with no knot scar and needle scar, the skin color was similar and cosmetic results were good in the observation group; in the control group, there were more obvious scars, visible knot and needle scars, and erythema, induration and hypertrophic scars were found around the most wounds. The medical glue for open wounds of the frontal plane in children has good biocompatibility and cosmetic results, which is safe and convenient in clinical use.
