Surgical sealants are medical adhesives used to close wounds or surgical incisions. They help to prevent bleeding and reduce the risk of infection by sealing the tissue together. These sealants can be applied during various types of surgeries, including orthopedic and cardiac procedures, and are often used in conjunction with sutures or staples. These sealants come in different forms, such as liquid or gel, and can be made from natural or synthetic materials. They are designed to bond quickly and provide a strong hold, allowing for faster healing and recovery. Additionally, some sealants are biodegradable, meaning they break down naturally in the body over time.
