About this trial
This clinical study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of using NE'X Glue R-eco to seal suture lines. The adhesive will be applied to reduce the risk of suture line bleeding in cardiac or vascular repair surgeries, a prosthetic or biologic graft, patch, or allograft.
The effectiveness of the adhesive will be assessed after restoring blood flow.
