Abstract | Lung biopsies are often used to aid in the diagnosis of cancers. However, the procedure carries the dual risk of air (pneumothorax) or blood (hemothorax) filling the pleural cavity, increasing the risk of a collapsed lung and chest intubation. This work demonstrates the effectiveness of a polyurethane-based shape memory polymer foam as a biopsy tract sealant. The impact of diameter, length, pore size, and shape memory effect was evaluated to determine the ideal device design for tract sealing. Characterization in an |
