Fluorescent polymeric coating films visible in near-infrared light for coating a medical device are provided, and a method for preparing said NIR visible polymeric coating films. In particular, the fluorescent polymeric coating films visible in near-infrared light for coating a medical device are in the form of a single layer or multiple layers where said single layer or at least one of said multiple layers comprises a hydrophobic polymer, a ionic fluorescent dye and a counterion of said ionic fluorescent dye. The fluorescent dye is a near-infrared dye which belongs to the family of long-chain cyanine 7.5 derivatives, and their analogues.

Method for detecting leaks and/or verifying adequate closure following a medical procedure, on a hollow or tubular organ of a subject, wherein a leak test is performed by injecting or insufflating, in the concerned organ, a specific test gas which is not commonly produced or naturally present within the body of the subject, or which is present or produced in a precisely known amount or concentration, and by analyzing percutaneously the gas or gas mixture present locally within the body cavity in which the organ is situated, and then verifying the presence, and preferably determining the concentration, of the injected or insufflated test gas in the local gas or gas mixture of the body cavity and indicating whether the concerned organ or a lumen defined by the latter is leak-free or not.
