Intervention Name(s)
ProGEL Pleural Air Leak Sealant with standard surgical closure
Intervention Description
ProGEL is a single-use medical device that is formed as a result of mixing two components: (1) a solution of human serum albumin (HSA) and (2) a synthetic cross-linking component of polyethylene glycol (PEG). Standard closure means, for example, suturing or stapling of visible air leaks incurred during resection of lung parenchyma.
