Description

The surgical glue GLUBRAN 2 is a class III medico-surgical product (internal and external surgical use). The Glubran 2 adhesive has high hemostatic and adhesive properties, and once solidified, it produces an effective antiseptic barrier against infectious agents or most frequent pathogens in surgical interventions. It is a transparent, light yellow liquid and is ready for use. When in contact with living tissue or humid environment, it polymerizes rapidly, creating a thin elastic film with high tensile strength, which ensures a solid adhesion of the tissues. This film adapts naturally to the anatomy of the tissues in which it is applied, it is waterproof and is not damaged by blood or bodily fluids. The film, once solidified, can be pierced by a suture needle, since the polymerization product does not form crystalline aggregates. The polymerization time varies depending on the type of tissue that glue comes into contact with, the nature of the fluids present and the amount of product applied. When applied properly, the glue starts to solidify after about 1 to 2 seconds, completing his reaction after about 60-90 seconds. At the end of this reaction, the glue reaches its maximum mechanical strength. Once solidified, it has no adhesive strength, enabling direct placement of gauze or surgical dressing, or overlapping of tissue without the risk of unwanted adherence.

Designation

It is used in traditional surgery, laparoscopy and treatment by endoscopy, interventional radiology and vascular neuroradiology. It can be applied by itself or in combination with sutures, even in patients treated with heparin or under hypothermia.

The following are some examples of applications in various types of surgery:

Thoracic Surgery; Pediatric cardiac surgery; Vascular surgery; Neurosurgery; ENT surgery; Pediatric surgery; General surgery; Thoracic surgery; Gynecological Surgery; Urologic Surgery; Endoscopic treatment of esophageal and trachea-esophageal, gastric, gastrointestinal, pancreatic and duodenal fistulae; Endoscopic treatment of gastro-duodenal ulcers; Endoscopic treatment of esophageal, gastric and duodenal varices; interventional radiology and vascular neuroradiology.
