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.
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.
