Seamguard_bioabsorb GORE SEAMGUARD® Bioabsorbable Staple Line Reinforcement is specifically engineered to reduce the incidence of perioperative leaks and bleeding in a variety of open and minimally invasive surgeries1,2. After six months it is completely absorbed, eliminating the risk of erosion into adjacent tissue. The configuration for circular staplers is indicated for use in surgical procedures in which a soft tissue anastomosis with staple line reinforcement is needed. It can be used for reinforcement of staple lines during the following procedures: colon, colorectal, gastric, small bowel, and bariatric.
