GORE® SEAMGUARD® Bioabsorbable Staple Line Reinforcement

GORE® SEAMGUARD® Reinforcement is a synthetic buttressing

material engineered to reduce perioperative leaks and bleeding

in a variety of minimally invasive surgeries.

GORE® SEAMGUARD® Reinforcement is made from a synthetic copolymer—polyglycolic acid:trimethylene carbonate (PGA:TMC).

Features:

Unique 3-D matrix material facilitates tissue generation and healing.
By reducing post-op leaks and bleeding, GORE® SEAMGUARD®Reinforcement may contribute to shorter hospital stays, decreased costs, and lower morbidity rates.
Material Volume = Tissue Volume (1:1 Replacement)
Uniform, thin material. By adding a consistent, strong yet thin 0.40 mm reinforcement to the staple line, GORE® SEAMGUARD® Reinforcement mechanically increases the strength of the resection line by evenly distributing the staple pressure exerted on the tissue over a wider surface of area.
More than 60 peer-reviewed clinical literature supporting leak and bleeding reduction

GORE® SEAMGUARD® Bioabsorbable Staple Line Reinforcement

can be used for reinforcement of staple lines during lung resection,

bronchial, bariatric, colon, colorectal, gastric, mesentery, pancreas,

and small bowel procedures.
