Kwik-Sil的固化速度比传统的RTV有机硅快数百倍。室温下几分钟的固化时间对于封装活组织或植入活动物特别有用。与许多乙烯基有机硅不同，铂络合物催化剂容易受到胺和动物组织污染的污染，而Kwik-Sil外科手术粘合剂对动物组织的污染不敏感。

 

固化时间

这种生物相容性手术粘合剂的特性使其特别适用于神经科学应用，周围神经研究和类似的生物医学应用。这些有机硅弹性体还消除了预混其他常用配方（如WackerSilGel®和Sylgard®）时所涉及的混乱和时间。每种有机硅弹性体均包装在双筒注射器中，当从提供的混合器尖端中压出时会自动混合。然后可以将其直接应用于组织，而无需进一步混合。这些有机硅粘合剂的固化时间短，可靠且可重现。当使用其他组织粘合剂时，这消除了潜在的昂贵猜测。固化过程不会产生任何热量，这可能会导致组织损伤。 WPI的有机硅弹性体比牙科用有机硅的毒性低得多，因为它们不含表面活性剂添加剂。

 

Kwik-Sil现在带有新的吸头设计。新尖端的设计可最大程度地减少泄漏。

注射器内的有机硅粘合剂不能通过任何方法进行灭菌，包括紫外线，伽马，过氧化氢，高压灭菌或乙醚。

外部和尖端可以浸入70/30酒精中或用酒精擦拭，也可以使用液体消毒剂，例如Cidex OPA（WPI P / N 7364-4）或Rapicide OPA（WPI P / N 504611）。

 

Kwik-Sil™ is a translucent, medium-viscosity silicone adhesive, developed for chronic peripheral nerve studies such as anterograde tracing with fluorescent indicators or electrode recording. Good adhesion and mechanical properties (tear strength and elongation) allow days of study without breaking of the bonding. Curing speed is very reproducible.

 

Kwik-Sil curing speed is hundreds of times faster than traditional RTV silicones. A curing time of a few minutes at room temperature is especially useful for encapsulation of live tissue or implanting into a live animal. Unlike many vinyl-based silicones in which the platinum complex catalysts are easily poisoned by contamination from amines and animal tissue, Kwik-Sil surgical adhesives are not sensitive to contamination from animal tissue.

 

Curing Time

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 eliminating 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.

 

Kwik-Sil now come with a new tip design. The new tip is engineered to minimize leakage.

The silicone adhesive inside the syringes cannot be sterilized by any means including UV, gamma, H2O2, autoclaving or EtO.

The exterior and the tips can be immersed in or wiped with 70/30 alcohol or you can use a liquid sterilant like Cidex OPA (WPI P/N 7364-4) or Rapicide OPA (WPI P/N 504611).
