Lobectomy, a common surgical treatment for lung cancer and severe pulmonary diseases, involves removing a portion of the lung while preserving respiratory function. However, postoperative complications such as air leaks and staple line bleeding remain significant challenges. To address these risks, staple line reinforcement (SLR) with bioabsorbable materials has become a critical adjunct in thoracic surgery.
Biosis Healing’s SIS Staple Line Reinforcement, derived from porcine small intestinal submucosa (SIS), provides a natural, absorbable solution to reinforce lung staple lines after resection.
Engineered for minimal immunogenicity and high biocompatibility, this SLR material:
Reduces air leaks – Reinforces the staple line to prevent postoperative pneumothorax.
Minimizes bleeding – Enhances hemostasis at resection sites.
Shortens operative time – Eliminates the need for additional suturing or sealants.
Supports tissue regeneration – SIS integrates with host tissue, promoting natural healing.
Compatible with all major endoscopic and linear staplers, this technology is widely used in:
Lung wedge resections
Segmentectomy & lobectomy
Bronchial stump reinforcement
By incorporating Biosis Healing SIS SLR, thoracic surgeons can improve patient outcomes, reduce hospital stays, and mitigate costly postoperative complications. FDA-cleared & CE-marked, it represents a gold standard for bioabsorbable reinforcement in pulmonary surgery.
