EP10.12: Insertion and adhesion of a sealing system with a cyanoacrylate‐based adhesive and a nitinol mesh for fetal membrane defects.

This article, titled "EP10.12: Insertion and adhesion of a sealing system with a cyanoacrylate-based adhesive and a nitinol mesh for fetal membrane defects," explores the feasibility of using a sealing system (SS) composed of a nitinol-integrated silicone patch and a cyanoacrylate-based bioadhesive (CbB) for repairing fetal membrane defects caused by fetoscopy. The study conducted ex vivo experiments using human amniotic membranes and compared three types of SS patches. The results showed that the nitinol-containing SS had higher adhesion rates at 15, 30, and 60 minutes compared to the plain silicone SS. The authors suggest that further studies are needed to evaluate the long-term adhesion and toxicity of CbB and nitinol. [Extracted from the article]
