#25 First Sutureless Veriset(TM) Patch Laparoscopic Repair of Perforated Duodenal Ulcer (poster presentation)

Aim: A new haemostatic patch (VerisetTM Medtronic) to stop bleeding was recently introduced. Its triple layer construction of oxidized regenerated cellulose, trilysine and reactive polyethylene glycol forms a hydrogel barrier and adherent sealant that can withstand high systolic pressures. These unique properties of an impenetrable barrier with strong adhesion within 30 seconds, and full absorption after 28 days, led us to postulate that it could be used for other indications, like bowel perforations.
