Although the surgical procedures involved was for non-cosmetic procedures, such as thoracic surgery, tumor removal and gynaecological procedures, the technology holds great promise for use in plastic surgery, where an absence of scarring and shorter recovery times are of great importance to patients and surgeons alike. Dr. Vitaliy Zaremba, Surgeon at the Zhytomir Children's Hospital said, "The main advantages [of live biological tissue bonding] over conventional surgery procedures are absence of bleeding, safety of the surgery, less procedure time and faster patient recovery." Scarring from plastic surgery is at present an unavoidable consequence of the incisions needed for most operations. Although some facial procedures can be performed through internal incisions made in the patients mouth, most procedures, such as arm lifts and breast augmentation or implant, leave detectable scar tissue around the area that was used for the incision and subsequent sutures. Live biological tissue bonding avoids such scarring after plastic surgery, since the technology closes the incision by fusing the live tissue without the need for staples or sutures. The reduced bleeding will also be of importance in plastic surgery, particularly liposuction, where one of the major complication risks arises from the bleeding that can result after the liposuction procedure. The company says that it expects to file for US and EU regulatory approval for a device to be used in such procedures early next year. |
