Cosmetic Surgery Adhesive Used in Browlifts Approved by EU
A new adhesive used in cosmetic surgery has been allowed to use in browlift procedures across Europe.
BioForm Medical is going to advertise and trial BioGlue Surgical Adhesive manufactured by Cryolife.
The cosmetic adhesive is used to flexibly seal the tissue within 20 to 30 seconds. Steven Anderson, president and chief executive officer of Cryolife, claims that the product has been proved to be safe and effective in over 400,000 procedures.
“We are pleased that BioGlue is now available for use in browlift cosmetic and plastic surgery in the European Community. We look forward to continuing to expand BioGlue’s applications and availability worldwide,” said the CEO.
Chief executive officer of BioForm Medical, Steven Basta, claimed that the company is “particularly excited” by BioGlue being approved to use in browlift procedures. However, he added that the cosmetic adhesive had many other ways to be used in plastic surgery. He also said: “This is an important step in our overall development strategy to evaluate the use of BioGlue as a quick and easy-to-use fixation method in plastic surgery,”.
