Abdominal surgery covers a vast number of procedures. Many of these are performed with minimally invasive techniques, and the ability to use the Vivostat® Endoscopic Applicator has proven very useful. Vivostat® is being used in a wide range of these procedures - such as:
- Liver part resections
- Pancreas
- Spleen
- Hernia mesh fixation
- Fistulas
Some general challenges that apply to most abdominal procedures are listed below:
- Haemostasis
- Sealing of the treatment area
- Gluing e.g. hernia mesh fixation
- Regeneration of tissue
Vivostat offers the surgeon a choice of two products which can help overcome these challenges. If haemostasis, sealing or gluing are the primary challenges, Vivostat® Fibrin Sealant is an excellent choice. If it is a combination of haemostasis, sealing, gluing and regeneration of tissue, Vivostat® PRF is the ideal product.
Vivostat Autologous Fibrin Sealant is an autologous sealant that outperforms other fibrin sealants on parameters such as polymerisation, elasticity, adhesion and impact on tissue.
Vivostat® PRF is a second generation platelet enriched product acting both as a haemostat/sealant while at the same time supporting tissue regeneration and wound healing.
