More Information
Summary:The invention describes a bag (1) for hepatic packing that has a shape configured to wrap at least a portion of a patient's liver. The bag (1) is formed by a multilayer material comprising: an inner microperforated sheet (2); an outer impermeable sheet (4) surrounding said microperforated inner sheet (2); and an intermediate porous sheet (3) filling an intermediate space between said inner microperforated sheet (2) and said outer impermeable sheet (4). Thanks to this configuration, when the bag (1) of the invention envelops the liver of a patient, the application of vacuum through the impermeable sheet (4) outside the space between the inner microperforated sheet (2) and the sheet (4) impermeable exterior causes compression of the liver and removal of fluids present on the surface of the liver.
