 PROFILE
For surgeons who don't like leaky patients, Focal is developing sealants to stop leaks during surgery on lungs, brains, hearts, and guts. Focal's liquid sealants, FocalSeal-L and FocalSeal-S, adhere to underlying tissues, withstand air and fluid pressures, expand with tissues, and are absorbed by the body after wounds heal. Genzyme Surgical (now part of Genzyme Biosurgery) markets the sealants in the US and Canada, and Ethicon, a division of Johnson & Johnson, distributes them outside North America. Focal is also developing other uses for its polymers, including drug delivery systems and tissue coatings that could reduce post-operative scarring. Genzyme is buying Focal and merging it with Genzyme Biosurgery.
