A staple line-reinforcement strip is a single-use, sterile bioabsorbable device designed to strengthen surgical staple lines and prevent leaks of blood, fluids, or air during cardiothoracic or abdominal procedures. Made from animal-derived tissue, these strips are applied alongside staples to reinforce tissue integrity and reduce postoperative complications like hemorrhage or dehiscence.
These devices are typically supplied in a dry form with an adhesive hydrogel to help rehydrate and secure them to the stapler loader before use. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they are generally classified as medical devices and must meet safety and performance standards for bioabsorbable materials and surgical reinforcement applications.
