A range of surgical sealant films, which act as a barrier to air, blood and other fluids encountered in surgery, have been unveiled by TISSUEMED.
TissuePatch is easy to apply, requires no preparation and is effective within 30 seconds of contact. Its elasticity and conformability means it works like a surgical “cling-film” and can be programmed to have different characteristics – addressing the specific demands of different surgical environments and tissue types. It is also transparent to allow operators to visualise the underlying tissues. Currently being used in a variety of surgical applications, the solution is ideal for sealing air leaks in lung surgery, cerebrospinal fluid leaks in brain and spinal surgery and on a variety of organs in general surgery where blood and fluid leakage needs to be prevented.
