The OptMed Advantage

AT the LAb

Methylidene malonate was extensively tested for biocompatibility and adhesive properties in topical and internal applications.   
 
It has many advantages over current adhesives: 

icon1.png

Customizable chemistry to facilitate optimization of adhesives to address specific unmet clinical needs

icon2.png

Adheres to wet and dry tissues

icon3.png

Achieves a strong bond while remaining very flexible and elastic

icon4.png

Generates minimal heat during polymerization

Main degradation by-products(1) via hydrolysis generate two safe byproducts, ethanol and glycolic acid.
