BioSentry® Tract Sealant System

PLUG. PREVENT. PROTECT.

BioSentry Tract Sealant System is the first biopsy sealant system of its kind designed specifically to address the issues of biopsy-related pneumothorax. The system deploys a self-expanding hydrogel plug into the pleural space following a percutaneous lung biopsy. This creates an airtight seal that closes the pleural puncture and provides accuracy in marking a biopsy location for visualization during surgical resection.

CLINICAL STUDIES

MD Anderson Cancer Center denotes a 61% reduction in chest tubes¹

37% reduction of pneumothorax and 61% reduction of chest tube placement
Although the BioSentry System was more frequently used in high-risk patients in the unmatched group, it still demonstrated reduced risk of pneumothorax
Use of BioSentry System presents a standardized method for mitigating complications post CT-guided lung biopsy for clinicians

All-comers study demonstrates 80% reduction in chest tube insertion rates when using the BioSentry System²

The treatment group demonstrated a significant reduction in chest tube placements
With the BioSentry System, patients experienced an 83% reduction in average time of hospital stay post CT-guided percutaneous transthoracic needle biopsy
