FDA Approves Extended Product Claims for LiquiBand(R) Exceed(TM)
Topical Skin Adhesive
Winsford, UK, 3 November 2015 - Advanced Medical Solutions Group
plc (AIM: AMS.L), the surgical and advanced woundcare specialist
company, today announced that the FDA has approved two new product
claims for the octyl formulation product, LiquiBand Exceed(TM)
giving it a competitive advantage in the topical skin adhesive
market.
These claims will allow AMS and partners to differentiate
LiquiBand Exceed(TM) around wound coverage, yield and reuse,
providing clinicians with the ability to increase the usage of a
single applicator, saving time and cost.
The two new claims include the use of a single device to cover
wounds of up to 30cm, as well as a single device being suitable for
intraoperative reuse for up to 90 minutes on a single patient. Both
claims are unique FDA approved claims for the US Topical Skin
Adhesive Market.
Following testing, LiquiBand(R) Exceed(TM) was found to deliver
best in class yield to support coverage up to 30cm of wound
length(1) , twice the amount advertised by market leading topical
skin adhesive products(2) . Due to the proprietary LiquiBand
Exceed(TM) formula, the adhesive polymerises via skin contact using
naturally occurring skin moisture meaning that the applicator
device does not dry out. In-vitro testing proved the device could
continually express glue in intervals for up to 90 minutes after
device activation.(1)
Chris Meredith, Chief Executive Officer of AMS, commented:
"LiquiBand Exceed(TM) has been an excellent addition to our
LiquiBand(R) topical skin adhesive portfolio demonstrating
encouraging initial uptake since its launch this year. These
extended US product claims will help us to continue to provide a
superior product for clinicians and a versatile solution for
healthcare providers in this key market, in which we are focused on
growing our market share."
