Important Safety Information
Warnings
ReSure Sealant should not be used on actively leaking incisions in which a temporary dry ocular surface cannot be achieved.
Do not use in patients who are allergic to FD&C Blue #1.
Precautions
ReSure Sealant is for single-use only; discard open and unused product. Use within 30 minutes of removing the mixing tray from foil pouch.
Prior to application, ensure incision site is not actively leaking; remove any standing moisture from the surrounding ocular surface and incision and ensure the site is dry.
Prophylactic use of ReSure Sealant on corneal incisions without intraoperative leakage was not evaluated in the clinical study.
ReSure Sealant will not replace the need for sutures in certain circumstances, including the need for long-term mechanical support to the incision.
Adverse Reactions
The most commonly reported (≥1%) ocular adverse events that occurred in patients treated with ReSure Sealant in the pivotal trial included: worsening best corrected visual acuity (7%), increase in intraocular pressure (5%), corneal astigmatism (3%), eye pain (3%), posterior vitreous detachment (2%), and anterior chamber inflammation (1%).
