Nick Woods has been interviewed by Clinica online for their “5 minutes with…” feature. In the interview Nick was asked to speculate about the future of surgical sealant film technology. Also he discussed the challenge of gaining adoption of a new technology in surgical use. This is especially relevant for Tissuemed as it sees increasing use of its TissuePatchThoracic product in sealing of air leaks routinely encountered during lung surgery. Nick hints at future applications for the technology, which include intestinal sealing, seroma reduction, wound closure and delivery of active agents such as antibiotics to surgical sites. The company is keen to work with other entities whose products may benefit from being rendered adhesive in a surgical setting. Details can be found here.
