Absorbable bone wax for stopping bleeding during spine fusion
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study compares a new absorbable bone wax (a paste that stops bleeding during spine surgery) to the traditional type, to see if it's safer and works just as well for patients having lower back fusion surgery. If you qualify, the goal is to control bleeding effectively during your procedure and promote better healing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 75 years old.
- You must be scheduled for lumbar fusion surgery to treat conditions like a herniated disc, a slipped vertebra (spondylolisthesis), or narrowing of the spinal canal (stenosis).
- You must not have a bleeding disorder or be on long-term blood thinners.
- You must not be allergic to bone wax, beeswax, paraffin, or similar substances.
- You must not be pregnant, planning pregnancy within the next year, or breastfeeding.
- You must not have severe osteoporosis (very weak bones with fractures), serious heart, liver, or kidney disease, or an active infection in the spine.

This trial tests placing antibiotic and pain-relieving beads directly into the spine during lower back fusion surgery. It aims to reduce infections and improve pain control after the operation.
This study compares a ready-to-use bone putty to standard bone graft materials (with or without your own bone) during back fusion surgery for unstable lower back problems. It looks at whether the putty works as well or better to help the bones fuse and heal.
This Phase 3 trial tests whether tranexamic acid can reduce bleeding during major spine fusion surgery for adults with scoliosis or spine degeneration. It may help lessen blood loss and the need for transfusions, while monitoring safety.
This trial compares two types of bone graft materials (Magnetos Putty and GlassBone Putty) used in lower back fusion surgery for adults with degenerative disc disease. The goal is to see which material works better for helping the bones fuse together, which may reduce pain and improve function.
This study tests a new bone graft material (Fibergraft BG Putty) used with a special screw system (Viper Prime) during spine fusion surgery. It is for adults with lower back problems who need 1 to 3 vertebrae fused, and who are not smokers or have a very low bone density.
This trial tests a special bone wax to see if it helps control bleeding from the breastbone during heart surgery. It is for people having open-chest heart surgery with a heart-lung machine who also have certain bleeding risk factors.
