Wound Closure Strength Wound closure strength testing measures the amount of tension required to reopen a wound after device application. Higher wound closure strength results indicate a reduced risk of the wound dehiscing.
LiquiBand® XL provides equivalent wound closure strength to Dermabond® Prineo® and Exofin Fusion® 9

Application guide
Preparation
- Please refer to the instructions for use for comprehensive instructions and warnings for LiquiBand® XL.
- Application of the LiquiBand® XL system requires thorough cleansing of the incision.
- Follow standard surgical practice for incision preparation before application of LiquiBand® XL (i.e. cleanse, irrigate, debride, obtain hemostasis, and close deep layers such that there is no tension on the skin). Skin edges must be closely approximated prior to application of the mesh, such that significant manual approximation is not required during mesh application.
- Using sterile technique, open the packaging to access the device components.
- LiquiBand® XL is applied in a 2-step process with mesh patches and applicators for dispensing the liquid adhesive.
Application
-
- Remove both sections of the white release liner from the mesh, peeling from the center towards the outer edge.
-
- Hold the mesh by the edges of the clear release liner while not touching the mesh.
-
- With the adhesive side of the mesh facing the wound, position so the incision is central to the mesh (without making contact), ensure at least 1 cm of mesh extends from each end of the incision.
- Gently press the clear release liner to ensure intimate contact of the mesh to one side of the incision.
-
- Gently pull the mesh liner perpendicularly over the incision while adjusting with fingers or forceps to achieve skin approximation and affix the remaining mesh to the other side of the incision.
- Ensure the mesh is placed at least 1 cm from each of the ends of the incision.
-
- Pat the clear release liner to make sure the mesh has fully adhered to the skin.
-
- Remove the clear release liner. Maintaining pressure on the clear release liner while pulling the release tab in the opposing direction.
- Tear the clear release liner and remove in a circular direction.
-
- Ensure the mesh is in intimate contact with the skin prior to application of the liquid adhesive.
- If mesh is loose, gently pass a gloved finger or instrument over the affected area to complete adherence to the skin.
-
- Activate the liquid adhesive applicator by holding the wings with your finger and thumb, tip pointed upward and away from the patient to avoid unintentional placement of the liquid adhesive into the wound or the patient.
-
- Invert applicator and firmly squeeze to express the liquid adhesive and IMMEDIATELY apply onto mesh.
-
- Spread liquid adhesive smoothly and evenly over the entire length of the mesh using the foam tip, making sure that the entire mesh is covered.
- Liquid adhesive should be applied slightly over the edges of the mesh, covering a small margin of surrounding skin.
-
- Remove both sections of the white release liner from the mesh, peeling from the center towards the outer edge.
-
- Hold the mesh by the edges of the clear release liner while not touching the mesh.
-
- With the adhesive side of the mesh facing the wound, position so the incision is central to the mesh (without making contact), ensure at least 1 cm of mesh extends from each end of the incision.
- Gently press the clear release liner to ensure intimate contact of the mesh to one side of the incision.
- For incisions longer than 20 cm, mesh should be positioned so that at least 1cm of mesh extends from the beginning of the incision.
-
- Gently pull the mesh liner perpendicularly over the incision while adjusting with fingers or forceps to achieve skin approximation and affix the remaining mesh to the other side of the incision.
- Ensure the mesh is placed at least 1 cm from each of the ends of the incision.
- For incisions longer than 20 cm, additional mesh patches should be applied so that at least 1 cm of mesh extends beyond the edges of the incision.
-
- Pat the clear release liner to make sure the mesh has fully adhered to the skin.
-
- Remove the clear release liner. Maintaining pressure on the clear release liner while pulling the release tab in the opposing direction.
- Tear the clear release liner and remove in a circular direction.
-
- Ensure the mesh is in intimate contact with the skin prior to application of the liquid adhesive.
- If mesh is loose, gently pass a gloved finger or instrument over the affected area to complete adherence to the skin.
-
- For incisions longer than 20 cm, repeat steps 1-5a. For the continuation of skin edge approximation, overlap the end of the existing mesh by at least 1 cm.
-
- Activate the liquid adhesive applicator by holding the wings with your finger and thumb, tip pointed upward and away from the patient to avoid unintentional placement of the liquid adhesive into the wound or the patient.
