Testing a sponge device to help blood recovery after heart surgery
Part of Blood & lymphatic clinical trials.
This study looks at a new surgical sponge and blood-recovery device during major heart or lung operations. It aims to improve how efficiently blood is recovered and returned, which may help during surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having a heart or lung transplant, redo sternotomy, aortic surgery, or multiple valve repairs/replacements

- You do not have a known bleeding disorder (for example, hemophilia or von Willebrand disease, or a blood-clotting problem like DIC)
- Your surgery is not an emergency or “salvage” operation
- You are not currently enrolled in another clinical trial that could change the results
