Polyganics Scores Breakthrough Designation for Liver and Pancreas Sealant Patch

The FDA granted breakthrough designation to Polyganics’ Liver and Pancreas Sealant Patch designed to prevent leakage after hepato-pancreato-biliary procedures.

The device is made from a proprietary polymer that seals off surgically treated tissues during the healing process.

The Dutch company received a grant of $1.4 million from the European Fund for Regional Development last December for clinical validation of the device.
