Clinical Need
Lung cancer is the most common cancer worldwide & lung biopsy is the gold standard method of diagnosis
Early diagnosis has been proven to save lives making lung biopsy a vital armament in the battle against lung cancer
Unfortunately, 1 in 3 patients undergoing a lung biopsy suffer from a collapsed lung, known as pneumothorax
This dangerous complication converts a routine outpatient procedure to one requiring hospitilisation, for up to a week, for invasive treatment & follow-up
This results in healthcare costs in excess of $15,000 per patient making it the No. 1 hospital cost & complication post lung biopsy
Technology
Selio Medical adopts a unique approach by preventing the pneumothorax occurring before the biopsy even takes place.
The Selio System™ is a single use, prophylactic device, comprising a smart delivery needle together with a biodegradable hydrogel sealant.
Our proven technology seamlessly integrates with the current standard of care and enables the clinician to pre-seal the access route into the lung before the biopsy.
The Selio System™ allows the patient to safely return home on the same day as their procedure. This significantly improves the patient’s quality of care while preventing further treatment and costs.
