REMINDER: OR-Live.com Presents: Surgisis AFP Anal Fistula Plug, a Revolutionary New Technique to Close Anal Fistulas
Live Webcast November 30, 2005 4:30 PM EST (21:30 UTC) From Cook Surgical
Surgisis® AFP(TM) Anal Fistula Plug is
a new paradigm in the treatment of anal fistulas. An innovative, yet simple
treatment for a notoriously difficult condition, which has traditionally
required surgical intervention.
A fistula is an abnormal channel that develops between body organs. The
most common fistulas occur from the intestine to an opening in the skin.
The presence of a fistula can painful and seriously impact a patient's
quality of life.
Unfortunately, current treatments involving an extensive surgical procedure
or use of a fibrin glue do not always yield satisfactory results, leaving
the patient with a chronic debilitating problem.
Surgisis Anal Fistula Plug is a cone shaped medical device that has been
specifically designed to allow a surgeon to easily place it into a fistula
channel. Once in place, Surgisis AFP serves as a bio-scaffold to facilitate
well-organized tissue regeneration to close the fistula.
The plug is well tolerated by patients and early clinical results are
showing significant improvement over conventional therapies.
