BioGlue®

A proprietary—CryoLife—adhesive used to repair aortic dissections, seal vessels, and reconstruct and reinforce peribronchial soft tissue to decrease air leaks
Composition Bovine serum albumin and glutaraldehydeare dispensed via a double-chambered syringe. Once dispensed, the adhesive components mix within the applicator tip where the cross-linking begins (within 20 to 30 seconds; it reaches bond strength within 2 minutes). The glutaraldehyde molecules bond with the BSA molecules creating a flexible mechanical seal independent of the body's clotting mechanism.
