FDA approves DuraSeal spine sealant for the U.S. market

Covidien (NYSE: COV), a leading global provider of healthcare products, today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved DuraSeal™ spine sealant for use in the United States. This is the first product that has been approved specifically as an adjunct to suturing for intra-operative dural sealing in spine procedures.

DuraSeal spine sealant has been shown in a U.S. pivotal study to deliver an intra-operative watertight seal 100% of the time1. In the same study, commonly used sealing methods achieved an intra-operative watertight seal only 64% of the time. The remaining patients were treated with additional products and/or techniques to achieve a watertight seal.
