4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Inhalation:
Remove to fresh air. If discomfort persists seek medical attention.
Skin contact:
Do not pull bonded skin apart. Soak in warm soapy water. Gently peel apart using a blunt instrument.
If skin is burned due to the rapid generation of heat by a large drop, seek medical attention. If lips are
bonded, apply warm water to the lips and encourage wetting and pressure from saliva in mouth. Peel
or roll lips apart. Do not pull lips apart with direct opposing force.
Eye contact:
Immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention. If eyelids are
bonded closed, release eyelashes with warm water by covering with a wet pad. Do not force eye open.
Cyanoacrylate will bond to eye protein and will cause a lachrymatory effect which will help to debond
the adhesive. Keep eye covered until debonding is complete, usually within 1-3 days. Medical attention
should be sought in case solid particles of polymerized cyanoacrylate trapped behind the eyelid
caused abrasive damage.
Ingestion:
Ensure breathing passages are not obstructed. The product will polymerize rapidly and bond to the
mouth making it almost impossible to swallow. Saliva will separate any solidified product in several
hours. Prevent the patient from swallowing any separated mass.
Notes to physician:
Surgery is not necessary to separate accidentally bonded tissues. Experience has shown that bonded
tissues are best treated by passive, non-surgical first aid. If rapid curing has caused thermal burns
they should be treated symptomatically after adhesive is removed.
