Surgical adhesives and sealants are used to bond tissues together, prevent leakage of fluids, and provide a barrier against infection.

Silicone is not a type of surgical adhesive. Cyanoacrylate, fibrin, and collagen are all types of surgical adhesives.

Cyanoacrylate is the most common type of surgical adhesive. It is a fast-acting adhesive that is used to bond tissues together.

Fibrin sealant is not non-toxic. It is derived from blood plasma, is biocompatible, and is biodegradable.

Collagen sealant is primarily composed of collagen.

Cyanoacrylate sealant is not a type of surgical sealant. Fibrin sealant, collagen sealant, and silicone sealant are all types of surgical sealants.

Surgical adhesives and sealants reduce the risk of infection, are less invasive than traditional sutures, and provide a faster healing time.

Bleeding is not a potential complication of using surgical adhesives and sealants. Infection, tissue necrosis, and allergic reaction are all potential complications.

The type of tissue being bonded is the most important factor to consider when selecting a surgical adhesive or sealant.

Dental procedures are not a common application for surgical adhesives and sealants.

Surgical adhesives and sealants are becoming more widely used in surgery, are being developed for new applications, and are becoming more affordable.

Fibrin is not a type of surgical adhesive used in ophthalmic surgery. Cyanoacrylate, collagen, and silicone are all types of surgical adhesives used in ophthalmic surgery.

Surgical adhesives in laparoscopic surgery reduce the risk of infection, are less invasive than traditional sutures, and provide a faster healing time.

Embolism is not a potential complication of using surgical adhesives in cardiovascular surgery. Bleeding, infection, and allergic reaction are all potential complications.

The type of tissue being bonded is the most important factor to consider when selecting a surgical adhesive for use in neurosurgery.
