Category 2 IAD involves partial-thickness skin loss with open lesions, causing severe pain due to exposed nerve endings. Effective management in clinical settings is vital to alleviate discomfort and prevent secondary infections, though treatment options for severe IAD remain is limited despite its occurrence.</p><p><strong>Cases: </strong>We report the successful management of Category 2 IAD involving the dermis and subcutaneous layers in 3 patients using a polymer cyanoacrylate.
