TissuePatchThoracic is an absorbable, synthetic, adhesive film for resolving air leaks encountered during Lung surgery.

TissuePatchThoracic™ is an evolution of the TissuePatch™ platform technology. TissuePatchThoracic™ has been used extensively in open thoracic procedures, providing an instant solution to air leaks encountered during lung surgery. Customer feedback has consistently demonstrated a high degree of surgeon satisfaction in terms of performance and ease of use. Clinical follow-up demonstrates sustained reduction of air leaks, with the potential to reduce patient stay in cases where prolonged air leaks are the main factor.


Tissuemed has listened and responded to the demands of Thoracic Surgeons by modifying its platform technology to suit the application. New TissuePatchThoracic™ uses the same basic multilaminate structure and the same synthetic absorbable components, but subtle modifications to the production parameters mean the new product is optimised for resilience, conformable and possesses ideal handling characteristics.
