Enbond Gastro kit contains n-butly-2-cyanoacrylate,a medical grade Bio-adhesive.
Cyanoacrylate are derivatives of acrylic acid. n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate is liquid in its monomer form and polymerises quickly as it come into contact with water or body moisture.
Enbond adhesive polymerizes through an exothermic reaction in which a small amount of heat is released. With the proper technique of applying enbond adhesive in multiple thin layers(at least three) onto a dry wound and allowing time for polymerization between application heat is released slowly and the sensation of heat or pain experienced by the patient is minimized. However, if Enbond adhesive is applied so that large droplets of liquid are allowed to remain unspread, the patient may experience sensation of heat or discomfort.
