(Reuters) – The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved Cohera Medical Inc’s tissue adhesive for internal use during surgery, the first approval of its kind. The product, TissuGlu, is used to connect flaps of tissue made during surgery to remove excess fat and skin or to restore weakened or separated abdominal muscles.
