Surgical sealant film a form of secondary wound closure. The film can be used for sealing the dura mater, preventing blood loss in general surgery and eliminating air leaks following lung resection. Surgical sealant film A surgical sealant film is an implantable medical device used during surgery. It is a preformed flexible patch that is applied to supplement sutures and surgical staples to seal tissues and prevent leaks of fluid (including blood and cerebrospinal fluid) and air.

The polymeric components impart structural and adhesive properties with the sealing effect achieved by incorporation
