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 device that helps close the puncture site in your leg after certain heart or blood vessel procedures. It aims to reduce bleeding and speed up recovery.
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 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.
This trial tests a gel made from gelatin that is placed on bleeding areas during surgery to stop bleeding. It may help reduce blood loss during your procedure.
This study looks at how well a hemostatic (bleeding-stopping) product called PuraBond works during open surgery for an abdominal aortic aneurysm or severe narrowing/blockage of the aorta/iliac arteries. It’s intended for people whose surgeon thinks standard methods may not fully stop bleeding.
