Fast, Safe, & Secure Wound
Closure with LiquiBand®
Step 1 - Wound Preparation
Step 4 - Application
Clean and dry the wound thoroughly.
Check for foreign bodies. Ensure hemostasis
has been achieved and the wound edges
appose readily.
Hold the wound edges tight together with
fingers or forceps. Apply LiquiBand® adhesive
along the length of the wound. The wound
edges should be held together for 30 seconds
until LiquiBand® has set and the wound is
secure. Requires only one layer.
Step 2 - Open the Ampoule
Remove the applicator from the package using sterile
technique. Holding the applicator in one hand, with
the applicator tip pointed upward, gently squeeze the
wings attached to the applicator body until the glass
ampoule inside the applicator breaks.
Step 3 - Device Preparation
Upon breaking of the ampoule glue will
automatically flow into the dome applicator tip.
Gently squeeze the wings to release the adhesive
down into the dome tip. The device is now ready
to use.
If using on the eye area, use petroleum jelly
to create a barrier close to the wound, and
use a surgical gauze to protect patients eyes
to minimize risk of gluing the wrong area.
LiquiBand® is indicated for the closure of topical skin incisions
including laparoscopic incisions, and trauma-induced lacerations
in areas of low skin tension that are simple, thoroughly cleansed,
and have easily approximated edges. The adhesive may be used in
conjunction with, but not in place of, deep dermal sutures.
