Main Description
LiquiBand Exceed is a topical skin adhesive based on 2-octyl cyanoacrylate, distributed as part of Medtronic's wound closure portfolio. The Exceed formulation is designed for medium to long surgical incisions, where its applicator and set characteristics suit longer wound edges. The XS configuration is sized for small incisions and laparoscopic port closures. Applied over approximated wound edges, the adhesive polymerizes into a flexible film that holds the skin closed and provides a microbial barrier while the wound heals. Adhesive closures avoid suture or staple removal and are used across surgical specialties for appropriate low-tension skin closure.
Features and Benefits
- Long incision design – The Exceed applicator and volume are made for medium to long incisions, not just spot closure.
- Flexible film – The polymerized film moves with the skin instead of cracking across joints and curves.
- Microbial barrier – The continuous film seals the approximated edges against external contamination.
- Port site version – XS covers the small incisions laparoscopy leaves behind, in the same adhesive family.

Why Choose This Product
Skin adhesive is the closure patients ask for by name, and the Exceed format covers the incision lengths generic spot adhesives cannot. Having both standard and port-site sizes in one listing finishes the wound closure shelf.
- Length capacity – Designed coverage for medium to long incisions is the differentiator over small-tip adhesives.
- No removal visit – The film sloughs naturally, removing a follow-up step for patient and clinic.
- Barrier plus closure – One application closes and seals, doing two jobs.
