Skin Prep Sealants by Halyard Health

Halyard Health INTEGUSEAL Microbial Sealant forms a protective layer that locks skin flora pathogens in place. Proprietary film-forming cyanoacrylate liquid flows around hair follicles and within skin contours. INTEGUSEAL Microbial Sealant even seals microabrasions on skin. INTEGUSEAL Microbial Sealant significantly reduces the amount of bacteria recovered compared to incise drapes alone (p 0.05). An in vitro study, performed by a facility external to Halyard Health, evaluated the bacterial immobilization attributes of INTEGUSEAL Microbial Sealant when used with and without an antimicrobial surgical incise drape. The study was performed using a seeded in vitro skin incision model. Four test conditions were evaluated including bacteria only (microbial recovery control), antimicrobial incise drape, INTEGUSEAL Microbial Sealant, and INTEGUSEAL Microbial Sealant plus an antimicrobial incise drape. After treatment application, skin incisions were evaluated to determine the number of bacteria present in each incision.
