Gelatin gel to reduce bleeding during surgery
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older and having surgery (general, orthopedic, or gynecological).
- The bleeding site must be suitable for the gel to be applied during surgery.
- You must not be allergic to gelatin or refuse products from pigs.
- Your blood clotting must be normal (no high INR or low platelets) and you must not have severe liver or kidney disease.
- You cannot be pregnant or breastfeeding, and you cannot have taken part in another research study within the last 30 days.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial is testing a special fluid called succinylated gelatin (a type of colloid) given during surgery to help maintain blood volume. It is for people having planned surgery lasting less than 6 hours and who are in generally good health, without major heart, liver, or kidney problems.
This trial tests whether a fluid called Gelaspan (a gelatin-based IV fluid) is better for treating sepsis patients who need emergency abdominal surgery than standard crystalloid fluids. It checks if you have a belly infection and high lactate levels, and you must not have serious heart, lung, or kidney problems.
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 medicine called fibrinogen concentrate (CSL511) to see if it helps control bleeding during a special surgery (cytoreductive surgery with HIPEC) for pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP). The goal is to reduce the need for blood transfusions and improve safety.
This trial tests whether a blood-clotting gel (PuraStat®) can help prevent bleeding after endoscopic removal of certain ampulla/duodenal growths. You might be offered the gel during the procedure to lower the risk of post-procedure bleeding.
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.
