Vygon Vet launches tissue glue for veterinary market
Vygon Vet, a division of Vygon (UK) Ltd, announced the availability of Vetloc® xcel within the veterinary market - a new tissue adhesive used for the closure of minor skin wounds for animals - at BSAVA this year.
The product is a fully sterile, versatile tissue adhesive and is an economical solution for wound care. Each box contains six pouches, which contain 0.5g of Vetloc® xcel in each ampoule, as well as a fine tip precision cannula. It is a fast and effective treatment without the need for needles, sutures or staples.
Les Davies, Managing Director, Vygon (UK) Ltd:"The veterinary market is a new and exciting opportunity for us and we are pleased to be able to offer our products in this arena. Vetloc® xcel is extensively used in human medicine and there are many situations within veterinary medicine that it can also be used, such as after neutering and anchoring feeding tubes, drains and cannulae to the skin. Tissue adhesives can entirely replace sutures when closing low tension wounds, save surgical time and simplifying post-operative care, which is essential in the busy veterinary practice."
Vetloc® xcel is an addition to Vygon Vet's portfolio of products in the veterinary market, which includes vascular access, needle-free devices, I.V. management, respiratory, digestive tract and theatre products.
Vygon Vet products are available directly from Vygon (visit www.vygonvet.co.uk or call the veterinary support division on 01285 657051 ext 512) or through your usual veterinary wholesaler.
