Health care products maker Covidien Plc, which has a surgical-devices manufacturing plant in North Haven, said today the Food and Drug Administration has approved its sealant for healing spine-surgery wounds.
The DuraSeal spine sealant was approved 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.
Covidien said it expects to launch DuraSeal in the next few weeks.
