Study Overview

Brief Summary

Post-market, observational study to assess effectiveness of TissuePatch SF in managing/preventing air leaks after lung resection.

Detailed Description

Post-market study conducted to assess the continuing effectiveness and safety of TissuePatch SF when used as an adjunct to standard suture/staple closure of clinically significant (Macchiarini Grade ≥1) intra-operative visceral pleural air leaks incurred during lobectomy and segmentectomy (open or minimally invasive), including those performed as video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS), in adults.
