LifeBond is developing a line of products in bio-surgery. Specifically, the company is looking to develop a set of surgical sealants and hemostats intended for preventing leakage and bleeding. Proceeds from the most recent round of funding will be used for the completion of the pre-clinical and clinical phases of the Company’s initial product: LifeSeal SLR, a sealant indicated for reinforcement of gastro-intestinal anastomoses. Post-surgical leakage from anastomoses is currently a significant risk factor that can result in life threatening complications and costly re-operations. In certain surgical procedures the risk of leakage is up to 15% of overall procedures.
