DESCRIPTION:<br />

<strong>Peri</strong>-<strong>Strips</strong> Dry ® Staple Line Reinforcement (PSD) is prepared from dehydrated bovine pericardium procured<br />

from cattle under 30 months of age in the United States.<br />

One (1) tube of PSD Gel (Gel) is provided for every two (2) pouches of PSD. The Gel is used to create<br />

a temporary bond between the PSD buttress and the surgical stapler jaws until the stapler is positioned<br />

and fired. Each PSD loading unit and each Gel tube is packaged sterile in a separate pouch.<br />

4<br />

INDICATIONS FOR USE:<br />

PSD is intended for use as a prosthesis for the surgical repair of soft tissue deficiencies using surgical staplers<br />

when staple line reinforcement is needed.<br />

PSD can be used for reinforcement of staple lines during lung and bronchus resections and during bariatric<br />

surgical procedures.<br />

PSD can be used for reinforcement of staple lines during gastric, small bowel, mesentery, colon and colorectal<br />

procedures.<br />

CONTRAINDICATIONS:<br />

The use of PSD is contraindicated in patients with known sensitivity to bovine material.<br />

ADVERSE REACTIONS:<br />

As with any surgical procedure, adverse reactions are possible and include but are not limited to:<br />

infection, rejection, erosion, and allergic reaction.<br />

WARNINGS:<br />

Do not re-sterilize.<br />

Discard all open unused components.<br />

Do not use product if there is damage to the pouch or seals.<br />

Ensure the staple line is completely covered with the buttress, or inadequate coverage after firing may<br />

result.<br />

PSD is not designed, sold, or intended for use except as indicated; doing so may result in surgical<br />

complications.<br />

<strong>Synovis</strong> products differ; substitution of one product for another product may reduce product performance.<br />

Clinical experience with glutaraldehyde-fixed porcine xenograft heart valves indicates that fixed tissues<br />

may be subject to late attack by the body and subsequent tissue deterioration. In a like manner,<br />

glutaraldehyde-fixed bovine pericardium may be subject to later deterioration. The benefits of the use of<br />

this tissue in cardiovascular repair or repair of soft tissue deficiencies must be weighted against the possible<br />

risk of aneurysm or hemorrhage or patch weakening resulting from tissue deterioration.
