Clinical Trials:
Thoracic surgery
TenaTac® reduced persistent
air leaks in a clinical study
TenaTac® significantly reduced post-operative air leakage duration vs. standard of care in a French study that analysed 60 consecutive patients undergoing robotic-assisted pulmonary lobectomy. The mean length of hospital stay for the TenaTac® group was also reduced by 36 hours vs. the control group.
This study was also a poster presentation at the 6th International Joint Meeting on Thoracic Surgery in Barcelona, 2024 (see article here)
The chest drains in the TenaTac® group were removed significantly earlier than the standard of care group (4.9 v 6.5 days, p=0.04)
TenaTac® is flexible, elastic and conforms to tissue contours
After contact with bodily fluids and further compression with saline-moistened gauze, the patch will change into a gel-like material and can be used to cover the staple line in a lung resection.
