BioGlue

CryoLife

BioGlue’s mode of action allows it to seal the anastomoses regardless of the patient’s coagulopathic state. BioGlue is especially useful if the native tissue is calcified or fragile, because it will not only seal the anastomosis but also provide reinforcement to the suture line.

Since launch, BioGlue has been used in over 2,000,000 procedures worldwide.

BioGlue is the Strongest Surgical Sealant on the Market¹

BioGlue is a valuable adjunct in numerous cardiac procedures such as Ventricular Assist Device implantation (outflow aortic anastomosis), aortic valve replacement (full root and aortotomies), aneurysm repair, aortic dissection repair and various other large vessel repair.
