Executive Summary
CLOSURE Medical has received US FDA 510(k) clearance to market its LIQUIDERM liquid adhesive bandage. The product is the only cyanoacrylate medical device cleared by the FDA for the over-the-counter adhesive bandage market, claims the Raleigh, North Carolina company. It is painted on the wound, sealing it from germs and creating an environment that allows natural healing to take place quickly, says CLOSURE. As the wound heals, the adhesive sloughs off naturally.
