Gelling sealants that promote enhanced impermeability to medical devices is provided. The gelling sealants include various viscoelastic materials that exhibit a first viscosity upon introduction into a body cavity and a second viscosity after dwelling within the body cavity for a predetermined amount of time. The gelling sealants thicken and provide a bacterial barrier after introduction into a body cavity by adhering to the inside surfaces of the body cavity.

L'invention concerne des agents d'étanchéité gélifiants qui favorisent une meilleure imperméabilité pour des dispositifs médicaux. Les agents d'étanchéité gélifiants comprennent diverses matières visco-élastiques qui présentent une première viscosité lors de l'introduction dans une cavité corporelle et une seconde viscosité après séjour à l'intérieur de la cavité corporelle pendant une quantité de temps prédéterminée. Les agents d'étanchéité gélifiants s'épaississent et offrent une barrière bactérienne après introduction dans une cavité corporelle par adhésion aux surfaces internes de la cavité corporelle.
