PleuraSeal Pivotal Study (US)

September 4, 2014 updated by: Integra LifeSciences Corporation

A Prospective Multicenter Randomized Clinical Study to Evaluate the PleuraSeal Sealant System as an Adjunct to Standard Closure Techniques for Control of Visceral Pleural Air Leaks Following Elective Pulmonary Resection Via Open Thoracotomy

To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of Confluent Surgical's PleuraSeal Sealant System in the treatment and control of intra and postoperative air leaks following pulmonary resection via an open thoracotomy. The performance of the PleuraSeal Sealant System as an adjunct to conventional closure techniques (i.e. surgical staples or sutures) will be compared to conventional surgical techniques alone.
