WPI KWIK-CAST(S) Low Toxicity Silicone Adhesive

The properties of this bio-compatible surgical adhesive make it exceptionally useful for neuroscience applications, peripheral nerve studies and similar biomedical applications. These silicone elastomers also eliminate the mess and time involved in pre-mixing other commonly used formulations (such as Wacker SilGel®and Sylgard®). Each silicone elastomer is packaged in a double barrel syringe and is automatically mixed when pressed out of the mixer tip provided. It can then be applied directly to the tissue without further mixing. The curing time of these silicone adhesives is short, reliable and reproducible. This eliminates potential costly guesswork when using other tissue adhesives. The curing process does not produce any heat, which can cause tissue damage. WPI's silicone elastomers are much less toxic than dental silicone, because they contain no surfactant additives.

April 2024 - A new sterile version, available for short-term and long-term studies, is ideal for laboratores that cannot sterilise KWIK-CAST/KWIK-SIL in their facilities.

Features:

• Individually packed with sterile syringe and tips
• Biocompatible adhesive to seal live tissues
• Embed peripheral nerves with electrodes
• Pre-mixing tips simplify use (Includes 5 mixing tips)
• Medium strength adhesion
• Low toxicity
• Rapid curing silicone adhesive, cure on contact
• Cures without producing heat
• The kit comes with 1 sterile syringe of 2 part silicone and 5 tips
• KWIK-SIL-S dries clear; KWIK-CAST-S dries green
• KWIK-SIL-S dries a little faster than KWIK-CAST-S
