Bariatric Surgery

Of all the complications associated with bariatric, colorectal, and thoracic procedures, the most devastating is the risk of morbidity or mortality as a result of leaks and bleeding.

GORE® SEAMGUARD® Bioabsorbable Staple Line is specifically engineered to reduce the incidence of perioperative leaks and bleeding that can result from bariatric surgery.

Clinical Benefits of Using GORE® SEAMGUARD® Bioabsorbable Staple Line Reinforcement

  • Strong, yet thin - Engineered for consistent thinness to allow proper staple formation and mechanically increase the strength of the resection line by evenly distributing the staple pressure exerted on the tissue over a wider surface area.
  • Proven polymers used in bioabsorbable sutures and implantable devices with a well-known history of safety
  • Synthetic material having no risk of animal contamination
  • More than 50 peer-reviewed papers documenting successful clinical use in multiple surgical procedures
