Revolutionary new technique to close anal fistulas Surgisis® AFP™ Anal Fistula Plug is a new paradigm in the treatment of anal fistulas. An innovative, yet simple treatment for a notoriously difficult condition, which has traditionally required surgical intervention. The plug is well tolerated by patients and early clinical results are showing significant improvement over conventional therapies.
		Early reports indicate an 87% rate of fistula closure.1 Easy-to-place, minimally invasive solution results in reduced pain and fewer complications. Suturable material offers more staying power than fibrin glue options. The biological matrix supports native tissue healing for complete fistula closure.
