The Baxter Floseal Hemostatic Matrix (5mL) is an advanced hemostatic agent designed to control bleeding effectively during surgical procedures.
The Baxter Floseal Hemostatic Matrix (5mL) is an advanced hemostatic agent designed to control bleeding effectively during surgical procedures. This unique hemostatic matrix is composed of two key components: a gelatin matrix and human thrombin, which work together to provide rapid hemostasis even in complex and challenging surgical environments. Floseal is widely used across various surgical disciplines, offering reliable and efficient bleeding control where traditional methods may be insufficient.
Dual-Component Hemostatic System: The Floseal Hemostatic Matrix combines a gelatin matrix and human-derived thrombin, creating a synergistic effect that promotes rapid blood clotting. The gelatin matrix acts as a physical barrier, while the thrombin activates the clotting cascade by converting fibrinogen to fibrin at the bleeding site. Together, these components provide superior hemostatic control, ensuring effective clot formation even in difficult-to-reach or irregular bleeding surfaces.
Rapid and Effective Hemostasis: Floseal is designed to stop bleeding within minutes, making it a valuable tool in situations where time is critical. Its ability to achieve hemostasis quickly helps minimize blood loss, reduce the need for transfusions, and improve surgical outcomes. The hemostatic matrix can control both mild oozing and severe arterial or venous bleeding, providing versatile support in a wide range of procedures.
Adapts to Irregular Wound Surfaces: One of Floseal's most notable advantages is its ability to conform to complex and irregular wound surfaces. Whether used in soft tissue, bone, or highly vascular areas, the matrix adapts easily to the anatomy of the bleeding site, ensuring close contact with the tissue. This adaptability enhances its effectiveness in hard-to-reach areas where traditional mechanical methods like sutures, clips, or cauterization may be impractical.
Minimizes Risk of Rebleeding: The combination of a gelatin matrix and thrombin provides a robust hemostatic effect that reduces the risk of rebleeding. This makes Floseal particularly useful in high-risk surgeries or procedures where controlling bleeding is challenging. Its durable clot formation helps stabilize the wound, providing a protective layer over the bleeding site while natural healing processes take place.
Easy to Apply: Floseal is provided in a prefilled 5mL syringe, making it easy to use in the sterile surgical field. The product can be applied directly to the bleeding site using a flexible applicator tip, allowing for precision even in confined or awkward areas. This ease of application minimizes time spent on hemostasis and allows surgeons to focus on completing the procedure.
Reduced Need for Surgical Interventions: By providing effective control of bleeding, Floseal often reduces the need for additional surgical interventions, such as suturing or cautery, to achieve hemostasis. This can lead to shorter operating times, fewer complications, and improved patient outcomes. It also decreases the likelihood of post-operative bleeding, which can reduce the need for revision surgeries or prolonged hospital stays.
Compatible with a Wide Range of Procedures: Floseal is used in numerous surgical specialties, including cardiovascular, orthopedic, neurosurgical, urological, and general surgeries. Its ability to control bleeding in various tissues and anatomical locations makes it a versatile tool in both open and minimally invasive procedures.
Biocompatible and Absorbable: The gelatin matrix is biocompatible and fully absorbable, allowing it to be safely left in the body. The matrix is gradually resorbed and cleared by the body within 6-8 weeks, ensuring that there are no long-term foreign materials left at the surgical site. This feature is particularly important in minimizing the risk of adverse reactions or complications associated with the use of non-absorbable hemostatic agents.
