Description
SmartPAN allows surgeons to visualize pancreatic leakage, for securing complete tissue closure during surgery. It is a first-in class indicator aimed at reducing postoperative complications.
SmartPAN is a hydrogel of degradable starch microspheres, loaded with bromothymol blue (BTB). BTB represents a pH indicator, that has an orange color in neutral or acidic medium and a blue color in alkaline media.
The color change is detectable with the naked eye and supports the surgeon in the clinical setting by providing a rapid, localized identification of leakage.
SmartPAN is provided sterile, in a pre-filled, single-use applicator. It is ready-to-use and does not need any preparation. Standard applicator contains 10 ml of the product. This amount will allow for repeated application in one patient.
