DESIGNED
- The only sealant specially designed for the lung and its unique characteristics.
- Combines Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) and Human Serum Albumin (HSA) to form a flexible hydrogel.
- Gels at the tissue site, binding directly to the lung for optimal adherence and an airtight seal.
- Strong enough to withstand re-expansion of the lung within 2 minutes of application2,3
- Highly elastic to allow the lung to expand and contract naturally during respiration.
- The patented Progel™ Spray Tip allows for customized application from a single, easy-to-use device.
INDICATED
- The only sealant approved by the FDA to treat pleural air leaks2
- FDA approved to treat air leaks in open thoracotomy, Video-Assisted and Robotic Assisted Thoracic Surgery2
CLINICALLY PROVEN
- The only sealant clinically proven to effectively treat air leak complications in both open and minimally invasive thoracic surgery1,2
- Sealed or reduced 96% of air leaks in the OR in a recent clinical trial of patients undergoing Video-Assisted or Robotic-Assisted lung resection2
- Reduced inpatient length of hospitalization by an average of 1.9 days in a prospective, randomized clinical trial1
COST EFFECTIVE
- As many as 58% of lung surgery patients will have an air leak in the OR1, and more than 15% will develop a persistent air leak after surgery4
- Identifying and treating air leaks intraoperatively provides the best chance for preventing persistent air leak complications and providing incidental cost-of-care savings5
- Progel™ Pleural Air Leak Sealant has been shown to effectively seal air leaks during lung surgery, reducing length of hospitalization by 1.9 days on average, potentially minimizing associated complications and providing cost-of-care savings1
