The use of bucrylate\u3csup\u3e*\u3c/sup\u3e * Johnson & Johnson. to achieve hemostasis in tooth extraction sites

This study was intended to evaluate the efficacy of IBC as a dressing for post-extraction sites. The results of this study show that the use of IBC provided immediate hemostasis in tooth extractions and sealed extraction sites, thereby offering some protection against possible infection without the use of gauze. © 1973

Long-range effects of Ivalon sponge containing isobutyl cyanoacrylates on rat tissue. A quantitative planimetric study

This study on seventy rats was undertaken to determine the long-range effects of Ivalon sponge containing isobutyl cyanoacrylates (IBC). Histologic examination revealed that the IBC sponge was well tolerated by the connective tissue. IBC sponge was most effective during the first 2 weeks of healing. At observation periods of 1 and 2 weeks, the percentage values for connective tissue formed in IBC-treated animals were 2.02 and 1.58 times higher than those in the untreated animals. © 1975
