Kwik-CAST¢â Properties
The properties of this bio-compatible
surgical adhesive make it exceptionally useful for neuroscience applications,
peripheral nerve studies and similar biomedical applications. These silicone
elastomers also eliminate
the mess and time involved in pre-mixing other
commonly used formulations (such as Wacker SilGel¢ç and Sylgard¢ç).
Each silicone elastomer is packaged in a double
barrel syringe and is automatically mixed when pressed out of the
mixer tip
provided. It can then be applied directly to the issue without further mixing.
The curing time of
these silicone adhesives is short, reliable and reproducible.
This eliminates potential costly guesswork
when using other tissue adhesives. The curing process does not
produce any heat,
which can cause tissue damage. WPI¡¯s silicone elastomers are much less toxic
than
dental silicone, because they contain no surfactant additives.
The silicone adhesive inside the syringes
cannot be sterilized by any means including UV, gamma, H2O2, autoclaving or EtO.
The exterior
and the tips can be immersed in or wiped with 70/30 alcohol or you can use a
liquid sterilant
like Cidex OPA (WPI P/N 7364-4) or Rapicide OPA (WPI P/N
504611).
