CSMG Technologies, Inc., is announcing that their tissue welding process has been successfully employed in performing a leak-proof lung resection:
Donald S. Robbins, President and CEO of CSMG, said, “Leak-proof lung procedures are almost impossible to conduct, but our technology welds, incises and provides a leak-proof seal and closure of the lung in less than a minute without charring, searing and necrosis or the need for drain tubes. This is one of many new advances in our platform patented tissue welding/bonding technology.”
The tissue welding/bonding technology for repair and reconnection of tissue and hollow organs is smokeless, with little heat migration in the tissue. It results in no necrosis and is without the use of foreign matter or conventional wound-closing devices, such as staples, sutures, glues or sealant. The procedures are almost bloodless. Unlike other tissue coagulation methods that tend to destroy tissue by charring, searing and necrosis, the CSMG-patented technology bonds and reconnects incised tissue using a patented low-heat delivery method aimed at restoring the normal functions of the live organs and tissue. The technology leaves little or no scar visible to the naked eye.
It’s hard to see how you can bond/weld tissue without inducing some kind of heat damage. Then again, maybe that’s why their technology is patented.
