Adhesive for wounds and skin cuts (bf-6): wound healing and instructions for use

Benefits of medical glue

If we compare medical glue with other insulating agents for the skin, then its benefits for humans are obvious.

Firstly, only he can completely protect the wound from external influences. And, therefore, it will contribute to its early healing. Besides the area of ​​the skin treated with glue can be washed without fear
, which you definitely cannot do even with a modern waterproof plaster.

Secondly, its use is extremely convenient
, because even with one hand you can easily reach almost any part of your body.

But when using the plaster, you cannot do without scissors, besides, it leaves creases if you stick it, for example, on your finger.

And, of course, medical glue is completely incomparable in its convenience with gauze or fabric bandages: if necessary, you cannot do such a bandage on your arm without the help of unauthorized persons.

Interesting fact!
If the film has lost its integrity, you can apply a new layer right on top of the old one.

Fourthly, the film is formed almost instantly, it takes about three minutes to solidify. This is significantly less than the time it takes to apply the bandage.

Thus, the advantages of medical glue over other insulating agents are obvious.

Instructions for the use of glue

The list of indications for BF 6 glue is quite long. This is ideal for those who are allergic to the patch.

However, improper use of the composition is unlikely to help speed up healing, stop bleeding, etc. An illiterately closed wound is a sure way to suppuration, blood poisoning.

In order not to "screw up" and feel the full effectiveness of medical glue, strictly follow the instructions for use:

1. Use water or hydrogen peroxide to clean the wound from dirt: dust, particles of caked blood, etc. If the wound is clogged with dirt, use a cotton swab.
2. Use a bandage or a clean cloth to dry the skin within a radius of 1–2 cm around the wound.
3. If you are treating a wound with straight edges, move the edges.
4. Squeeze BF 6 onto the injured area and distribute it evenly over the wound and healthy skin around it. The layer is thin, but sufficient to form a protective film.
5. Wait 4 minutes for the product to dry.
6. Try not to touch the treated area for 24 hours.

If we are not talking about a superficial scratch or callus, but about a wound, within 5 days after applying the product, refrain from:

• covering the protective film with foundation;
• use of lotions, creams in the damaged area;
• wearing clothes "a la second skin" if it comes into contact with the wound;
• brushing hair around the treated area;
• lubricating the film of medical glue with antibiotic ointments.

Neglecting the listed precautions, do not be surprised if the "patch" lasts less than the 2-4 days promised by the manufacturer and you have to repeat the treatment of the wound. If during the application process and before hardening, the film area was accidentally erased, cover the resulting "bald spot" again

If in the process of application and before hardening the film was accidentally erased, cover the resulting "bald spot" again.

Can I apply to an open wound

Wound adhesive is intended for the healing of superficial wounds that do not involve muscle tissue. It is not advisable to apply phenol-formaldehyde agent to deeper injuries: the treated area will burn unbearably.

Therefore, it is better to use peroxide for first aid. And as soon as possible, contact the emergency room.

How much dries

The wound glue sets and forms a dense protective film in 2–4 minutes. According to the instructions, it lasts 2-4 days on the skin. On the tooth root - at least 7 days. But as practice shows, the remedy is perfectly "worn" on the wound for 7 days.

The duration of the medical glue depends on how often the damaged skin area is exposed to water.

How to remove the adhesive film

If the adhesive is applied correctly, the film will not need to be removed. After 5-10 days, it will dissolve on its own.

If the wound heals quickly, and the "plaster" from the tube has not yet dissolved, it must be removed. This can be done in several ways:

Rinse off with water. To prevent infection from getting into the wound, before washing off the film, treat your hands with an antiseptic, and rinse the area of ​​the skin around the injury with soapy water. Then dampen the film with hot water and cover it with a new layer of glue to soften. Then gently remove the elastic product from the skin.
Remove with alcohol, alcohol solution. Alcohol-based wound glue can be easily removed from the skin with similar solutions. Lightly wipe the film with a dampened cotton swab or sponge until all residues are removed.
Wipe off with acetone, nail polish remover. With a cotton swab dipped in acetone, wipe the protective film

Attention! This method of removing BF 6 glue should be abandoned if you are the owner of delicate, sensitive skin.

If you have removed the film and blood is oozing from the wound, re-treat it.

In some cases, after removing the film, alarming signs of infection are exposed:

• the wound is red and swollen;
• pain syndrome is growing (throbbing pain);
• itching is felt;
• blood comes out of the injured area with impurities of pus;
• body temperature "jumps" to 38C ° and above.

Any of these symptoms is a good reason for seeking medical attention.

The adhesive layer adheres like a second skin and is not destroyed by washing dishes or taking a bath. Do not rub the treated area of ​​the skin, otherwise the protective layer will peel off and the treatment will have to be repeated.

How to remove the film correctly

When the wound heals, the thick film on the skin falls off on its own after 3-4 days. If this does not happen, there are several ways to help remove the film and not damage the skin.

Removal method

Application

By water

Before the procedure, they wash their hands so that the infection does not get into the wound. The area around the cut is also washed with soap and water. Then the dry layer of the substance is softened by running hot water or by taking a hot bath. On top of the old layer of glue, a fresh substance is applied to soften the lower hard film. The soft product comes off much easier and faster.

With alcohol

Since the product is made on the basis of ethyl alcohol, it can be easily removed with an alcohol-containing liquid. To do this, moisten a cotton swab in the solution and gently wipe off the remnants of the film.

Acetone

Acetone is suitable for removing dried film or nail polish remover

The agent is applied to a cotton pad and gently applied to the dry film. Acetone-impregnated adhesive can be removed without obstruction

The method is not suitable for people with sensitive skin
After removing the old glue, pay attention to the wound. If the surface of the skin does not bleed, the cut is healed, then there is no need to apply a new layer of the medicinal substance.
Additional use of iodine, alcohol and other antiseptics is not recommended, so as not to cause irritation.

Analogs of medical glue BF 6

Mass production of medical glue BF 6 began after the end of the Second World War. And only in 1950 the famous surgeon L. G. Shkolnik suggested using a plastic agent for medical purposes.

At that time, the unique drug was a real breakthrough and had no analogues. Since then, the pharmaceutical industry has made great strides forward and drugs have appeared on the shelves of pharmacies with the same indications and pharmacological properties as BF 6 glue.

The most famous are:

1. Liquid bandage "Doctor Goodman". Liquid polymer aerosol is convenient for hard-to-reach areas. Up to four coats can be applied. Disinfects and accelerates the healing of injured tissues.
2. 3M Cavilon. For the treatment of injured tissues and children over 1 month old. Stops bleeding, heals wounds. After drying, the aerosol forms a dense protective film. Does not contain alcohol, so there is no burning sensation on application. Liquid dressing "Pentazol". Aerosol starts regenerative processes and disinfects.
3. Dermabond. An effective antiseptic protects the wound from pathogenic microflora for three days. The film stays on the skin for more than 7 days. It is used by surgeons for gluing tissues of internal organs, capillaries, vessels.
4. Surgisil. For additional connection of postoperative sutures (but not instead of them), healing of punctures from invasive methods of examination, thoroughly cleaned wounds.
5. Histoacryl. Blue plastic glue can be used to glue a corn, a shallow wound with smooth or torn edges. It is not used on the scalp, conjunctiva of the eye, internal organs, blood vessels, capillaries.

Even minor damage to the skin causes discomfort, interferes with the usual work, hinders movement, etc.

However, the one in whose first-aid kit has BF 6 glue does not have such difficulties. The hypoallergenic protective film disinfects and reliably covers the affected area without causing discomfort.

And one more argument, against which it is impossible to resist - medical glue will forever relieve the sheets stained with brilliant green.

How to properly remove the remnants of medical glue

In the instructions for the use of medical glue BF-6, it is stated that a few days after the first application, this agent disappears by itself. But in a number of situations it will be more expedient to speed up this process, rather than wait. Therefore, we will figure out how you can effectively remove the remnants of the glue. The available photos will help you with this.

The first thing to do is soften the layer of the medical grade adhesive to make it pliable. To do this, you can use any of the following methods:

• Apply a fresh layer of BF-6 glue on top and remove it with gentle movements. This method is also ideal if the product has been applied to the nail.
• Put a clean soft towel slightly moistened with water on the surface of the skin treated with medical glue. This will allow you to remove the wound healing agent quickly and easily.

Benefits and best properties

BF-6 is a medical glue that has numerous advantages and benefits, and therefore receives positive reviews.

Medical glue BF-6 is a very effective and affordable tool that will help you avoid many problems associated with minor wounds, cuts and other damage to the skin and nails.

The glue stain can be easily removed!

One awkward movement - and a drop of glue was on the clothes. The vitreous spot has penetrated through and through the structure of the tissue and, it would seem, nothing will help get rid of it. In fact, there are many ways to save your favorite blouse or jeans, and the choice of product depends on the type and chemical-physical properties of the adhesive. The main thing is to get down to business immediately, until the stain has dried and completely hardened.

If you had to have with glue PVA
, it is enough to remember that this is a dispersion of polymers in water, that is, a water-soluble substance. Therefore, you can remove the glue from clothing with warm water and a soft cloth. It rinses off quite simply and leaves no residue.

It's just as easy to get rid of stains stationery glue
... In essence, it is an aqueous solution of sodium silicate, so it can be easily washed off with warm water.Do not waste time, because when it dries, water escapes from it, a glassy plate is formed, which has thoroughly penetrated the fibers of the fabric. Firstly, it will not be possible to completely get rid of such a stain, and secondly, during removal, the fabric itself can be damaged.

And here Bf
- glue based on formaldehyde resin and polymers dissolved in acetone, chloroform or ethyl alcohol. Guess how to remove glue from clothes,
not difficult at all. You need to familiarize yourself with the composition and use a similar solvent: acetone (or nail polish remover), ethyl alcohol (for example, vodka) or a solvent containing chloroform.

Epoxy and hot melt
- have the peculiarity of hardening when cooled and again becoming elastic when heated. Therefore, you can remove the glue from clothes by exposing the stain to hot air, for example, using a regular household hair dryer. The softened mass must be carefully removed using the back of the knife blade.

To remove some types of adhesives, on the contrary, freezing is required. The "stained" thing must be placed in the freezer for several hours, and then carefully remove the thin glassy plates that have lost their former hardness. Low temperatures have a negative effect on adhesion properties "Super glue
", Glue"Moment
»And other types of highly durable polymerizable compositions that are very difficult to remove with a solvent. It is unlikely that it will be possible to completely get rid of the stain by freezing, therefore, a delicate treatment with acetone and warm water will follow.

When removing stains, it is not enough to know the physical properties and chemical composition of the adhesive. It is necessary to take into account the quality of the processed fabric. Often the use of solvents leads to blatant damage to the material. In the best case, the paint is washed off the fabric, the favorite thing becomes unusable. Therefore, you need to follow the rules for working with adhesives - use work clothes, not be distracted, always have a napkin with you, which will help get rid of the glue spot before it has time to "seep" into the fabric.

Each of us is familiar with the situation when a cut finger hurts and bleeds a lot. In this case, traditional means in the form of hydrogen peroxide and brilliant green do not help. Doctors recommend testing BF-6 medical glue. It is an indispensable remedy for cuts and abrasions. The glue does not cause allergic reactions, which is very convenient for people prone to them. Medical BF-6 is an excellent tool that should always be at hand. Moreover, the price of glue is affordable.

Effectiveness of application

The use of surgical adhesives has become a good alternative to gluing wounds in emergency conditions, when you urgently need to stop the blood or close the wound surface, but there is no suture material at hand or there is no time and conditions for suturing. The same cyanoacrylates were invented during the Vietnam War, where they were successfully used to help soldiers with their many injuries.

When using BF-6 biological glue on its own, it is not recommended to use it too often for the same wound. Still, the film closes access not only to infection, but also to oxygen. Therefore, the glue will be effective only in the first couple of days, while the wound is fresh. Then it should be removed and the sore is left to heal in air or under a patch.

Application during pregnancy and lactation

During the period of gestation of the baby, as well as when feeding him with breast milk, doctors recommend avoiding, if possible, the use of any medications and means, as they can harm the baby. Of course, for such a long period it is simply impossible not to get sick and not get hurt, so you cannot do without the use of various drugs.

BF-6 glue is non-toxic, it is distinguished by sufficient safety, which makes it possible, if necessary, to use it during pregnancy.

It is important to remember that glue is applied to the wound in a very small amount and if its components penetrate into the bloodstream, then their concentration will be insignificant, and therefore they will not be able to cause any harm.

The application of the film prevents the development of the inflammatory process at the site of injury and the formation of suppuration, which can harm not only the body of the developing baby, but also the mother herself. Therefore, the use of glue during the period of bearing a baby and feeding him is more than justified.

What is BF 6 glue used for?

In the old days, shallow wounds were covered with a layer of liquid resin. The remedy protected against inflammation, accelerated the healing of injured tissues. In the course of numerous experiments, the composition was "overgrown" with new components and in 1955 it was named BF 6 medical glue.

Wound healing antiseptic glue BF 6 is used to glue damaged human tissues, heal scratches, burst corns and other minor injuries of the epidermis. The product accelerates tissue regeneration, protecting the affected area from dust, water and other factors that prevent healing.

Wound glue is a convenient and practical alternative to a patch: even in the pouring rain, the protective film does not come off the skin, while continuing to take care of the injured area.

What are the benefits of medical glue?

You can disinfect the wound with antiseptics as much as you like, bandage or seal it with a bactericidal plaster. But at the first contact with water, all efforts will be wasted, and re-treatment will be required.

At home, this is not difficult. Far from civilization is not always possible.

Imagine a climber getting injured by a sharp rock ledge while climbing. Even a bottle of brilliant green, poured into the injured surface, is unlikely to stop the bleeding, close the wound from small stones and sediments.

But BF 6 glue will perfectly cope with these functions - a thick translucent mass of a yellowish or reddish hue with a characteristic pungent odor.

The advantages of glue include:

• ease of use;
• plastic;
• maximum adherence to the skin;
• profitability;
• bactericidal effect;
• water resistance;
• fast action;
• availability and low price;
• long shelf life without compromising performance;
• easily removed from the skin;
• unlike a patch, it breathes, does not cause thinning, swelling of the skin under a protective coating;
• does not provoke the formation of scars and scars;
• suitable for all ages (except for children in the first year of life).

Description of medical glue BF-6

The glue is a rosin-based alcohol solution, the main component of which is the polymer butyral phenol formaldehyde (BP).

Such glue is not afraid of water, oils, gasoline and kerosene, various solvents, is not subject to decay and corrosion, but is flammable.

Note! There are a number of BF adhesives, of which only BF-6 is used in medicine. In no case should other types of BP be applied to wounds, as this will only aggravate the condition.

BF-6 is a transparent sticky substance with a yellowish or brownish tint with a specific chemical odor. It has antiseptic properties and is used to connect and retain injured skin, protect wounds from re-injury and infection.

Forms a reliable elastic film that lasts up to 7 days, depending on the intensity of stress in the area of ​​injury.

Medical glue: how it works

Medical glue is used for quick healing and quickest tissue repair. It has a disinfecting and bactericidal effect, a dense film of glue reliably protects against adverse factors, the drug literally "sutures" shallow cuts and wounds.

You will need medical glue BF-6 in the following cases: small wounds, minor scratches, abrasions, cracks in the skin. Women use it during a manicure procedure, because the glue prevents infection in the wound. Medical glue is also used during the ear piercing procedure. The puncture is sealed, the formed film is not removed until it is removed by itself.

The glue exhibits a healing effect immediately after it is applied to the affected area. This treatment does not take much time, the film reliably closes the wound and does not cause allergies. The glue does not come into contact with water, unlike the plaster.

This product is used externally for both adults and children. Before applying the drug, cleanse the skin area, stop the bleeding, dry the wound with a sterile swab, apply glue with a thin layer on and around the cut.

Once the adhesive has been applied, the sterile dressing is no longer applied. It dries up within 4-6 minutes. This elastic film can remain on the skin for up to 2-4 days. In case of damage, the layer is reapplied. Before application, the damaged surface is again dried and degreased. The medical glue is stored in a dry place at a temperature of no more than 25 ° and away from sunlight. Usually the substance has a shelf life of up to 4 years.

Medical glue is widely used in dentistry. So, for example, such a medicinal substance is often used by surgeons after operations, they protect the base of the tooth from infection with an antiseptic "bandage". The doctor dries the surface with a napkin and applies a couple of drops of glue. A reliable protective film stays on the root canal for several days, protecting the wound from pathogenic microorganisms. With this tool, wounds in the oral cavity are also glued after other operations. After complete healing, a dense film on the skin disappears by itself after 2-3 days.

To remove the glue, water, alcohol, acetone are used. With clean hands, wash the cut and the area around it with soap and water. The dried layer of glue is softened with warm water and a fresh substance is applied to the old layer. If the skin is not very sensitive, then the dried film can be removed with a cotton swab soaked in acetone or manicure liquid.

After removing the old glue, pay attention to the cut. If there is no bleeding, the wound is healed, then no more medicinal glue is needed

It is not necessary to use additionally iodine, alcohol and other antiseptics.

Contraindications for medical glue

In some cases, medical glue has its own contraindications. The product is not used for inflammation and purulent skin processes, for deep wounds, scratches and cuts, for children under one and a half years old, for allergies to the main components of the substance. Before using it, the wound should be disinfected and dried. Some people don't like the specific special smell of medical glue.

Since medical glue BF-6 is very simple, convenient and inexpensive, so it has “competitors”. For example, “Liquid bandage” in the form of a spray that dries on the damaged area of ​​the skin for 2-3 minutes, or “Pentazole Dressing” in the form of aerosols with an antiseptic effect, or “Doctor Goodman” liquid based on a silicone polymer with an antibacterial effect, etc. - all these funds have a similar principle of action. Medical glue can come in very handy in your survival kit.

Bf-6 glue is an alcohol solution of special phenol-formaldehyde synthetic resin, rosin and polyvinyl butyrol with the addition of a plasticizer to it, used in medical practice. It is a clear or cloudy liquid, the color of which can vary from light yellow to reddish.

The instruction for Glue bf-6 indicates that it is characterized by wound healing and antiseptic effects.They are widely used as a bactericidal and isolating agent that promotes the healing of minor damage to the skin due to the appearance of a well-insulating film on its surface, which is resistant to chemical and mechanical influences.

When using the Glue BF-6 in dentistry, when it is applied to the root of the tooth, the necessary conditions are created to isolate the root canal from the decay products of the surrounding tissues.

When to use glue for wounds bF 6

For small cuts (up to five centimeters long) and minor injuries to the skin surface, for processing seams after surgery. The edges of the wound should be smooth and easy to approach. Most often used to close wounds on the face or head, parts of an arm or leg.

Advantages of medical glue:

• dries quickly;
• connects as tightly as possible to the skin;
• waterproof;
• does not provoke scarring;
• disinfects;
• no need to rinse.

The disadvantages include a burning sensation in the wound area, minor pain, possible manifestations of an allergic reaction. Not suitable for injuries in mobile areas (knees, other joints, groin). A deep cut does not need to be glued if it is thoroughly dried.

Steps

Removing glue by softening method

Wash your hands.
This is especially important if the wound under the glue has not completely healed, as removing the glue runs the risk of infection. Dirty hands have a lot of bacteria that can enter the wound when you peel off the glue.

• Wash your hands with warm water and soap. Remember to remove any dirt under your nails.
• Wash your hands for 20 seconds. It takes about that long to sing the song “Happy Birthday” twice.
• After washing your hands, wipe them dry.
• If you cannot wash your hands with soap and water, use a hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.
• Do not remove the medical glue unless advised by your doctor to do so.

Keep the skin around the layer of medical glue clean.
If you notice contamination around a wound that has been covered with glue, use soap and water to wash the contaminated area. In addition, you can safely wash the wound area, as the layer of glue will prevent soapy water from getting into it.

Soften the glue to make it easier for you to remove it.
As a rule, medical glue will fall off by itself a few days after application. However, there are a few things you can do to speed up this process.

Peel off the medical glue.
After the glue has softened, you can remove it. Be careful not to injure the wound or skin underneath the adhesive.

• If you are unable to remove the adhesive layer, take a damp cloth and wipe the area where the adhesive is applied again. Do this before the glue starts to harden.
• You may need to gently rub the area with the glue using a towel to remove it. However, be careful not to injure your skin and wound. Do not peel off the glue or rub hard.

Apply a cotton pad soaked in acetone to the glue area.
Make sure that the disc completely covers the adhesive area. Soak the cotton pad well with acetone, so you can easily remove the medical glue.

Remove the medical glue.
After you have saturated the glue with acetone, you can remove it. Be careful not to injure the wound or skin underneath the adhesive.

• If you are unable to remove the adhesive layer, take a damp cloth and rub the area where the adhesive is applied again. Do this before the glue starts to harden.
• You may need to gently rub the area with the adhesive using a towel. However, be careful not to injure your skin and wound. Do not peel off the glue or rub hard.

Wipe or rinse the skin and wound as needed.
Do this very carefully so as not to damage the wound.If the wound starts to bleed, follow the guidelines below.

• If, after removing the dressing, you see that the wound has healed, you can leave it as it is and do not take any action; no need for a new layer of medical glue if the wound has healed. However, if the wound has not completely healed, you can reapply a layer of medical glue (see section below).
• Do not use alcohol, iodine, or other antiseptics, as this can cause irritation.

Application of medical glue

Wash and pat dry the affected area.
Make sure the skin is completely dry before applying the medical glue.

This is very important, since the effectiveness of the treatment depends on it. Pat the wound gently with a towel, being careful not to damage it.

Apply medical glue to the wound.
Apply medical glue from one end of the wound to the other in one motion

You must cover the wound completely.

If you have a cut, gently touch the edges of the wound with your fingers as you apply the medical glue.
Do not apply glue to the inside of the wound. You can only apply it to the surface of the affected area.

Let the glue dry for a few minutes.
After drying, an elastic film forms over the wound.

There is no need to apply another layer of glue, as with this action you can soften the first layer.

Try not to wet the area where you applied the medical glue.
Although it is waterproof, try not to keep the affected area in water for a long time. You can shower or swim, but don't take too long.

Medical glue BF-6 has an antiseptic and wound healing effect. It is used to heal wounds, cuts, burns, bleeding calluses, burrs and cracks. After application, it creates a thin protective film on the skin that is resistant to external influences. As a result, the wound is quickly tightened without the use of a plaster and bandages.
