An adhesive composition includes one or more polymerizable cyanoacrylate monomers, a polymerization initiator and a polymerization accelerator for the one or more polymerizable cyanoacrylate monomers. A system for treating living tissue includes a first reservoir containing one or more polymerizable cyanoacrylate monomers, a second reservoir in a non-contacting relationship with the first reservoir containing a polymerization initiator and accelerator for the one or more polymerizable cyanoacrylate monomers, and an applicator capable of combining the polymerizable cyanoacrylate monomer and the polymerization initiator and accelerator to form an adhesive composition and then applying the adhesive composition to living tissue. The initiator may be a quaternary ammonium salt, and the accelerator may be a trihydroxy tertiary amine.

Controlled exotherm of cyanoacrylate formulations

A method of treating or preventing tinea pedis, commonly known as Athlete's Foot, includes applying a polymerizable monomer adhesive composition to an area of skin afflicted with or susceptible to tinea pedis, optionally with at least one of an additional anti-fungal agent or a foot care additive, and allowing the polymerizable monomer composition to polymerize to form a polymer film over the area of skin.

Adhesive treatment for tinea pedis

An applicator for dispensing compositions includes a crushable ampoule covered with a barrier material that serves as a protective barrier. The applicator can also include a body made of a flexible material that holds at least one crushable ampoule. The protective barrier protects the user's fingers from puncture by shards created during breakage of the crushable ampoule.

Applicator with protective barrier

Treatment methods for glass medical adhesive applicators in which a glass applicator is exposed to ammonium sulfate, an acidic gas, a plasma or a silanizing agent in order to remove or coat alkalide materials trapped in the glass.
