Formaldehyde Emissions From 2‐Octyl Cyanoacrylate: Quantified Risk for Allergic Contact Dermatitis
2-octyl-cyanoacrylate-mesh-systems emit formaldehyde at levels exceeding sensitization and inhalation thresholds, raising concern for dermal and respiratory exposure, particularly in sensitised individuals. Prior sensitisation from adhesives such as nail, eyelash or super glues may heighten risk.
