✦ Synopsis

Abstract

A biologic adhesive bonding agent for bone and skin was first developed in 1966. Later experiments with cyanacrylate proved ineffective. A new 3M bonding agent, MBR 4197, was tried but proved ineffective owing to the nature of the cut surface. Use of the Sharplan CO~2~ laser eliminated this problem. Further experiments are now under way to determine more practical applications for this procedure.
