KWIK-SIL / KWIK-CAST Sales Sheet
Bioadhesives are biocompatible glues designed to adhere to biological tissue like skin or cells. Because they are biocompatible, they are non-toxic and will not cause and immune response, irritation, or allergic reaction. They can bond with wet or slippery tissues, and they produce no heat. Bioadhesives set quickly and are less invasive than suturing. WPI’s KWIK-SIL and KWIK-CAST are two popular bioadhesives.
The properties of WPI’s KWIK-SIL and KWiK-CAST biocompatible surgical adhesives make them exceptionally useful for neuroscience applications, peripheral nerve studies and similar biomedical applications. You have the option of getting a non-sterile or a sterile version of either silicone adhesive. These silicone elastomers come with pre-mixing tips, eliminating the mess and saving time. 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.
KWIK-SIL-SP
Kwik-Sil™ Sterile Packed low toxicity silicone adhesive for live tissues.
Includes
- 1 x 5 ml cartridges of 2-part silicone sterile wrapped
- 5 mixing tips. Each tip is individually sterile wrapped
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. Each silicone elastomer is packaged in a double barrel syringe cartridge and is automatically mixed when pressed out of the mixer tip provided. It can then be applied directly to the tissue without further mixing.

KWIK-CAST-SP
Kwik-Cast™ Sterile Packed low toxicity adhesives for live tissues
Includes
- 1 x 5 ml cartridges of 2-part silicone sterile wrapped
- 5 mixing tips. Each tip is individually sterile wrapped
Kwik-Cast™ is a very low viscosity silicone sealant developed to embed peripheral nerves with electrodes for acute multi-fiber recordings. It flows easily, filling the small spaces around the nerve and leaving no channels through which peritoneal fluid can travel and thus short the nerve/electrode contact. Equally important is the ability of the material to flow into itself and create one continuous mass from underneath the nerve all the way to the top of the nerve/electrode contact to ensure long-term recording stability. Kwik-Cast is color-coded to make the mixing foolproof. The catalyst is yellow and the base is blue. When uniformly mixed, it is green. Kwik-Cast can be applied and cured underneath mineral oil. After recording, electrodes are easily recovered due to the low tear strength. The slight longer curing time (approx. 3 minutes) makes it more suitable for stationary preparations and in vitro tissue studies.
