HAVANA, Cuba, April 23 (acn) A tissue adhesive, Tisuacryl, developed by Cuban scientists, will start to be used in all of Havana’s dental services clinics, reported the Cuban Public Health Minister.
Armando Mojaiber, head of the sector in the ministry, told ACN that the product is expected to be used in the rest of the country once the required production volumes are reached and special storage areas are created, as the product has to be kept at low temperatures.
Mojaiber said the adhesive is a complement to the suture thread, and was designed to seal wounds or non-tense surgical cuts in the face or mouth of less than 4 cm in length.
The ampoules will be available in all dental clinics across the Havana City province, with medical prescription. They will be also distributed in the Hermanos Ameijeiras clinical-surgical hospital and at the Stomatology Faculty.
Mojáiber said the quality of the biomaterial has been proved by doctors since 2000, when it began to be used in the experimental stage.
Among the advantages of Tisuacryl, he mentioned the increase of the quality of medical services, saving of surgical time and suture materials, the rapid formation of scar tissue, its antiseptic properties and the fact that it is very easy to use.
