ANASTOTAPE: SUTURE-LESS TISSUE REPAIR

How it Works: Gelectric’s adhesive patch, AnastoTape, provides a strong, safe, permanent, yet reversible adhesion to intestinal tissue. AnastoTape is a biodegradable and biocompatible hydrogel patch shown to increase healing rate compared to standard of care of sutures.

It reduces post-operative scarring. It is applied by a simple application of a localized electric field. Adhesion is reversible by applying a localized reversible electric field.
