Intended Use

LiquiBand Exceed topical skin adhesive is intended for topical applications only, to hold closed easily approximated skin edges of wounds from surgical incisions, including punctures from minimally invasive surgery and simple, thoroughly cleansed, trauma induced lacerations. LiquiBand Exceed topical skin adhesive may be used in conjunction with, but not in place of, deep dermal stitches.

Device Story

LiquiBand Exceed is a sterile, liquid topical skin adhesive containing 2-Octyl-cyanoacrylate and D&C Violet #2 colorant. The device consists of a crushable glass ampoule housed within a plastic applicator with a foam tip. Upon application, the liquid monomer polymerizes within minutes to form a topical adhesive film. It is designed for single-patient use, supporting intraoperative reuse for up to 90 minutes. The device is intended for use by clinicians to close wounds up to 30cm in length. It acts as a microbial barrier while the adhesive film remains intact. The device provides a non-invasive method for wound approximation, potentially reducing the need for additional sutures or staples in superficial skin closure.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Evidence is based on bench testing and biocompatibility studies. Bench testing included wound closure strength (ASTM F2458-05), lap-shear strength (ASTM F2255-05), peel adhesion (ASTM F2256-05), tensile strength (ASTM F2258-05), force to actuate, polymerization set time, microbial barrier, intraoperative reuse, and wound closure length. Biocompatibility testing followed ISO 1093-1, including cytotoxicity, sensitization, irritation, acute dermal toxicity, and intramuscular implantation.

Technological Characteristics

Materials: 2-Octyl-cyanoacrylate monomer, D&C Violet #2 colorant, glass ampoule, plastic applicator, foam tip. Standards: ASTM F2458-05, F2255-05, F2256-05, F2258-05; ISO 1093-1. Energy: None (chemical polymerization). Sterilization: Dry heat and ethylene oxide gas. Form factor: Single-patient use applicator. Connectivity: None.

Indications for Use

Indicated for topical closure of easily approximated skin edges of surgical incisions (including minimally invasive surgery punctures) and simple, cleansed, trauma-induced lacerations. May be used with deep dermal stitches.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

In vitro studies have shown that LiquiBand Exceed topical skin adhesive acts as a barrier to microbial penetration as long as the adhesive film remains intact. Clinical studies were not conducted to demonstrate microbial barrier properties and a correlation between microbial barrier properties and a reduction in infection have not been established.

A single device contains sufficient adhesive to close wound(s) up to a combined length of 30cm.

LiquiBand Exceed topical skin adhesive is suitable for intraoperative reuse, for up to 90 minutes on a single patient.
