Sterilized wound healing compositions comprise stabilized cyanoacrylate monomers homogenously mixed together with a naphthoquinone 2,3-oxide, including vitamin K oxides. The compositions are sterilized by irradiation, and the sterilized compositions are shelf stable such that their viscosity does not substantially increase following at least two years of shelf storage. The compositions may be used for closure of open wounds, and the compositions enhance the rate of wound healing relative to wounds not closed with the compositions.
