Comparing methods to stop bone bleeding during finger or toe amputation
This trial tests different ways to stop bleeding from bone during finger or toe amputation surgery. It compares using collagen, bone wax, or pressure to see which works best and is safest.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are scheduled for an amputation of part of a finger or toe.
- You do not have a bleeding disorder or severe blood clotting problem.
- You are not allergic to collagen or bone wax.

This study tests a special patch called TachoSil against a standard surgical pad (Surgicel) to see which works better for controlling minor oozing during open abdominal, chest, or pelvic surgeries. It may be an option if you are having certain types of surgery and have a small area of mild bleeding that needs help to stop.
This trial tests a new hemostatic agent called ETHIZIA against the standard SURGICEL Original to see if it works better at stopping bleeding from soft tissues during planned open surgeries. If you need a more effective way to control bleeding during your procedure, this study might help.
This trial tests a device that seals the puncture site in the femoral artery after a catheter procedure. It may help stop bleeding faster and get you walking sooner.
This trial surveys surgeons about how they use hemostatic agents (medications that stop bleeding during surgery). It aims to understand current practices and improve patient safety.
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.
This trial tests if using diluted epinephrine (a drug that shrinks blood vessels) can reduce bleeding during ankle surgery just as well as using a tourniquet (a tight band that stops blood flow). The goal is to improve the surgeon's view without needing a tourniquet, which may be more comfortable for you.
