Lab study aims to plug leaky lungs with Bio-Glue
NCT ID NCT05854654
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study uses donated human lungs to test a new method for detecting and sealing air leaks that can happen during lung surgery. Researchers will place the lungs in a special box, keep them warm, and use a video camera and a bio-adhesive to find and fix leaks. The goal is to reduce complications and shorten recovery time for patients who need lung surgery.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
bio-adhesive sealant
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a standardized way to detect and seal air leaks during lung surgery, reducing complications and hospital stays.
What could go wrong
This is an early lab study using donated lungs, not live patients. The method may not work the same way in real surgeries, and the bio-sealant's safety and effectiveness are not yet proven.
