(a) Set-up for measuring burst pressures in isolated rat trachea. Arrow indicates cannulated rat trachea. (b) Application of the ALG-MA-DA sealant yielded comparable burst pressures to suture control. (c) Exposed rat trachea with scalpel incision (black arrow). (d) Repaired leak with suture at 2 weeks. Yellow arrow indicates residual suture. (e) Repaired leak with ALG-MA-DA patch at 2 weeks. Yellow arrow indicates residual patch. (f) H& E stained cryosection following ALG-MA-DA patch application demonstrates good repair and residual patch material along the tracheal wall (black arrows) Original Mag 200X.
