Clinical Trial of MedLogic LiquiBand Laparoscopic Versus Dermabond in the Closure of Surgical Incisions

LiquiBand Laparoscopic™ is a sterile, liquid adhesive made up of a blend of n-butyl and 2-octyl cyanoacrylate intended for soft tissue approximation of skin wounds. It is packaged in a sterile, single-use, nylon applicator with internal glass ampoule containing 0.8g of adhesive and sealed in a PETG/Tyvek blister pack. LiquiBand Laparoscopic™ is intended to be applied topically to pre-apposed wound edges. The tissue adhesive sets rapidly (5 - 10 seconds) to hold the wound closed. Following wound closure the product is designed to apply a broad coverage of adhesive to act as a liquid dressing to protect the wound.

High viscosity DermaBond Topical Skin Adhesive is a sterile, liquid topical skin adhesive containing a monomeric (2-octyl cyanoacrylate) formulation and the colorant D \& C Violet #2. It is provided in a single use applicator packaged in a blister pouch. The applicator is comprised of a crushable glass ampule contained within a plastic vial with attached applicator tip. As applied to skin, the liquid is syrup-like in viscosity and polymerizes within minutes.
