advisory committee meeting link, or call the advisory committee 
information line to learn about possible modifications before coming to

TissuGlu Surgical Adhesive is indicated for the approximation of tissue 
layers where subcutaneous dead space exists between the tissue planes 
in large flap surgical procedures such as abdominoplasty.
    FDA intends to make background material available to the public no 
later than 2 business days before the meeting. If FDA is unable to post 
the background material on its Web site prior to the meeting, the 
background material will be made publicly available at the location of 
the advisory committee meeting, and the background material will be 
posted on FDA's Web site after the meeting. Background material is

Written submissions may be made to the contact person on or before July

arguments they wish to present, the names and addresses of proposed 
participants, and an indication of the approximate time requested to 
make their presentation on or before July 1, 2014. Time allotted for

session. The contact person will notify interested persons regarding 
their request to speak by July 2, 2014.
