Intervention Name(s)
Seamguard
Intervention Description
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 surgeries. Then, after six months, it is completely absorbed eliminating the risk of a prolonged inflammatory response.
