Intended Use
GluSeal™ liquid adhesive bandage is intended to cover minor cuts, scrapes, burns, and minor irritations of the skin and help protect them from infection.
Device Story
GluSeal™ is a liquid adhesive bandage composed of monomeric 2-octyl cyanoacrylate. Upon application to skin, the monomer polymerizes rapidly in the presence of moisture (hydroxyl ions) to form a protective film. The device is supplied in various configurations: multiuse bottles (5 ml), multiuse vials (1 ml), and kits with disposable applicators (12 x 0.2 ml). It is intended for topical use to cover minor skin wounds and irritations, acting as a barrier against infection. The device is applied by the user or clinician to the affected skin area. It is not for use on eyes, mucosal surfaces, or infected/draining wounds.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; bench testing only.
Technological Characteristics
Monomeric 2-octyl cyanoacrylate liquid adhesive. Polymerization occurs via anionic mechanism in presence of water/hydroxyl ions. Packaging includes multiuse bottles, vials, and disposable applicators with pipettes/trays. No specific ASTM standards or software components described.
Indications for Use
Indicated for covering minor skin cuts, scrapes, burns, and irritations to protect against infection. Contraindicated for use on eyes, mucosal surfaces, infected areas, draining wounds, or in patients hypersensitive to cyanoacrylate.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A liquid bandage is a sterile device that is a liquid, semiliquid, or powder and liquid combination used to cover an opening in the skin or as a dressing for burns. The device is also used as a topical skin protectant.

| Predicate: | CLOSURE Medical Corporation's LIQUIDERM™ Liquid Adhesive<br>Bandage, K002338 – market clearance date, January 29, 2001. |
| Description: | GluSeal™ is monomeric 2 octyl cyanoacrylate. This compound, which<br>exists in monomeric form in the plastic containers, polymerizes extremely<br>rapidly in the presence of anions, especially of hydroxyl ions (in the<br>presence of water).<br><br>GluSeal™ will be packaged in three different ways ranging from a<br>multiuse bottle containing 5 ml cyanoacrylate; a multiuse vial containing 1<br>ml cyanoacrylate, and a kit containing 12 x 0.2 ml disposable applicators.<br>Each of the multiuse kits will contain application pipettes and<br>administration dishes or administration trays. |
| Intended Use: | GluSeal™ liquid adhesive bandage is intended to cover minor cuts,<br>scrapes, burns, and minor irritations of the skin and help protect them from<br>infection. |
| Warnings: | • Do not apply GluSeal™ adhesive to the eye(s). If contact with the<br>eye(s) occurs, keep the eye(s) closed and covered, and immediately<br>contact an ophthalmologist. No attempt should be made to open the<br>eye(s). The adhesive will lose its adhesion over time, between one and<br>three days, and the eye(s) will open spontaneously with no damage.<br>• Do not use on infected areas, or wounds that are draining. |
| Cautions: | • Do not use on mucosal surfaces (e.g., oral cavity, lips).<br>• Do not use if hypersensitive to cyanoacrylate. |
| Intended Use and<br>Chemical<br>Characteristic: | The intended use and chemical structure of the GluStitch, Inc.'s GluSeal™<br>and CLOSURE Medical Corporation's LIQUIDDERM™ are equivalent. |

Dear Mr. Blacklock:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food. Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls.
