The PleuraSeal™ lung sealant system was developed to address the problem of prolonged air leaks, the most prevalent post-op complication following lung resection.^1,2 The product is intended for use as an adjunct to standard closure techniques of visceral pleural air leaks, and may positively impact patient outcomes by reducing the incidence of prolonged air leaks and potentially enabling earlier chest tube removal. The PleuraSeal™ lung sealant was developed for site-specific spray application, through an easily prepared, 100% synthetic polyethylene glycol (PEG) hydrogel technology that provides excellent tissue adherence. The PleuraSeal™ lung sealant polymerizes within seconds, retains flexibility to allow expansion and contraction of the lung, and is safely absorbed after the body has naturally healed.³
