Surgi-Lock 2oc™

  1. How does Surgi-Lock 2oc work?
  1. Meridian Animal Health’s Surgi-Lock 2oc is a 2-octyl cyanoacrylate adhesive used to bond tissue together for veterinary procedures including, but not limited, to spays, neuters, declaws, dew claw removals, lacerations, etc. When used properly, Surgi-Lock 2oc can eliminate the need for conventional sutures and bandages. The formulation is clear and will polymerize rapidly upon contact with body tissue. Besides working as a tissue adhesive, Surgi-Lock 2oc also serves as a hemostatic agent. Surgi-Lock 2oc will slough off naturally from the animal’s body as healing occurs.
  1. How does Surgi Lock 2oc provide protection against infection?
  1. Surgi-Lock 2oc provides a needle-free method of wound closure, an important consideration because of blood-borne viruses. Surgi-Lock 2oc functions as a waterproof adhesive, providing antimicrobial properties against gram-positive organisms that may decrease infections. It has been shown to decrease histologic and clinical infection rates in contaminated wounds when compared to closure with traditional sutures.

  1. Yes, at 98.9%, Surgi-Lock 2oc offers the highest levels of purity available on the marketplace.
  1. Does Surgi-Lock 2oc help minimize post surgical care?
