Mohs paste is useful for controlling exudates from wounds and infections and is used to treat patients with inoperable skin tumors. Unfortunately, Mohs paste is difficult to preserve because its viscosity and stickiness increase dramatically immediately after preparation, resulting in decreased usability. In this study, the combined use of cryopreservation and kneading was shown to improve long-term storage of Mohs paste. At 25°C, Mohs pastes solidified rapidly, and viscosity reached approximately 700 Pa·s 5 h after preparation. In contrast, cryopreservation at -20°C attenuated hardening of Mohs pastes, and kneading also decreased viscosity. The viscosity of Mohs pastes cotreated with cryopreservation and kneading after 7 months of storage was &lt;70 Pa·s. In addition, tissue invasion with these stored pastes was similar to freshly prepared Mohs paste. Results suggest that the combination of cryopreservation and kneading permits Mohs paste to be stored over extended periods, which may increase the utility of the paste for clinical use.
