No, I cannot find out any updates about these glues. We keep hearing people are going to see Dr. Semertzides, Dr. Gerhardt, etc. and never hear of any followup. We hear of people looking for surgeons and there is no followup.

Now truthfully, I am not a big fan of Dr. Redan and never have been there. He has been using various sprayers but there is no mention recently about patient outcomes, etc. This is why, from my own personal perspective, I think if anyone is on the East Coast to see Dr. Semertzides or Dr. Clark Gerhart. Also, I think I am impressed with SurgiWrap,mesh barrier from Mast Biometrics (not sure of the exact name of the company.) But SurgiWrap is fixed in placed by dissolvable staples or sutures. Sometimes it does not need to be fixated in place as intra-abdominal pressure holds it in place. You can contact various surgeons to see if they use this.
