8. Apply liquid topical skin adhesive immediately after
applying the mesh*:
•Activate the liquid adhesive applicator by twisting
the purple dial until a snap is heard (Figure 9)
•Position the applicator tip straight down and away
from the application area. Pinch the tip of the applicator
and squeeze the lexible bulb one time. Once the
pressure in the bulb is released, it will partly or completely
ill with liquid adhesive (Figure 10). This primes the
applicator for dispensing the liquid adhesive
•Using short strokes and moving from one end of
the meshes to the other, spread the liquid adhesive
smoothly and evenly over the entire length of the
meshes and surrounding skin (Figure 11).
NOTE: DO NOT APPLY A SECOND COAT
*See Instructions for Use for full details.
Post-Application
9. Once applied to the meshes, the liquid adhesive will polymerize within approximately 60 seconds.
After 60 seconds, check that polymerization is complete by gently dabbing along the length of the
meshes with a gloved inger, checking for tackiness. When no liquid or tackiness is apparent, the
polymerization process is complete and the wound is closed and sealed.
Finally, inspect the incision for any blood or luid accumulation under the mesh, including areas where
luid may be seeping through the mesh, which could potentially impact the adherence to the skin.
If such areas exist, refer to full Instructions for Use.
For complete indications, contraindications, warnings, precautions, and adverse reactions,
