McKesson LIQUIBAND Flow Control Topical Skin Adhesive

How to Use LiquiBand Flow Control Topical Skin Adhesive?

• Before using McKesson LiquiBand Flow Control Topical Skin Adhesive, the wound must be thoroughly cleaned. When necessary, debride the wound. 
• Use standard wound preparation procedures prior to using McKesson LiquiBand Flow Control Topical Skin Adhesive. 
• Dry the wound area with sterile gauze, removing all moisture to ensure proper bonding of McKesson LiquiBand Flow Control Topical Skin Adhesive. 
• To prevent inadvertent flow of McKesson LiquiBand Flow Control Topical Skin Adhesive to the unintended areas of the body, the wound should be positioned horizontally and McKesson LiquiBand Flow Control Topical Skin Adhesive should be applied from above the wound.
• Remove the applicator from the blister pouch. Hold the applicator with finger and thumb by the actuation wings with the tip pointed upward and away from the patient to avoid unintentional placement of the topical skin adhesive into the wound or on the patient. Squeeze the wings to apply sufficient pressure to crush the inner glass ampoule. Invert and gently squeeze the wings just sufficiently to express the liquid McKesson LiquiBand Flow Control Topical Skin Adhesive adhesive to moisten the applicator tip. It will appear to darken as it is moistened by the adhesive. The adhesive will be seen travelling down the lumen to the tip. 
• Approximate the wound edges together using either a gloved finger or sterile forceps. Maintain the wound edges in apposition during the application of McKesson LiquiBand Flow Control Topical Skin Adhesive. Wounds that are subject to tension can be secured by subcuticular sutures prior to the topical application of the skin adhesive. 
• Apply McKesson LiquiBand Flow Control Topical Skin Adhesive very sparingly, either as minute drops or as a very thin film along the edges of the wound. Avoid heavy application. 
• Maintain manual approximation of the apposed wound edges for approximately 30 seconds to allow the topical skin adhesive to polymerize. NOTE: Excessive pressure of the applicator tip against the wound edges or surrounding skin can force the wound edges apart, allowing adhesive into the wound. Adhesive within the wound could act as a barrier and delay wound healing and/or result in adverse cosmetic outcomes. NOTE: McKesson LiquiBand Flow Control Topical Skin Adhesive is expected to be completely polymerized and at full strength in approximately 1 minute, when the topical skin adhesive is no longer tacky. 
• Following application the applicator should be discarded. 
• Liquid, ointment or cream medications should not be applied onto wounds following closure with McKesson LiquiBand Flow Control Topical Skin Adhesive. 
• Protective dry dressings, such as gauze, may be applied over wounds closed with McKesson LiquiBand Flow Control Topical Skin Adhesive once the adhesive has completely polymerized and is no longer tacky (approximately 2 minutes after application). 
• If removal of McKesson LiquiBand Flow Control Topical Skin Adhesive is necessary for any reason, carefully apply petroleum jelly or acetone to the McKesson LiquiBand Flow Control Topical Skin Adhesive film to help loosen the bond. Peel off the film, do not pull the skin apart.
