Hemostatic Efficacy and Biocompatibility Evaluation of a Novel Absorbable Porous Starch Hemostat
CONCLUSION: According to our study, Ca2+CPSM could effectively achieve hemostasis in the standard rat liver injury model and exhibited good blood compatibility and in vivo tissue compatibility. These finding suggested that Ca2+CPSM as a new kind of APSH had its extensive clinical application value.PMID:34551638 | DOI:10.1177/15533506211046100

A Comparative Study of the Resorption and Immune Response for Two Starch-Based Hemostat Powders
Powder hemostats are valuable adjuncts to minimize intraoperative and postoperative complications. In addition to promotion of rapid coagulation, resorption, and biocompatibility are desirable attributes. Plant starch-based polysaccharide hemostat powders are effective and widely used hemostatic agents, however their source and/or processing can affect characteristics such as in  vivo degradability. For example, Arista is a purified/hydrolyzed starch powder that is rapidly resorbed in vivo; whereas PerClot shows slow resorption and preservation of a crystalline form.

The use of sealing hemostat patch (HEMOPATCH ®) in laparotomic myomectomy: a prospective case–control study
ConclusionsHEMOPATCH®, during laparotomic myomectomy, is a valid alternative solution for obtaining rapid hemostasis and consequently intraoperative and postoperative bleeding. Furthermore, we suggest that a lower inflammatory peritoneal state is probably correlated with the barrier effect of the patch on the suture.

A Prospective, Randomized, Controlled Trial of the Efficacy and Safety of Fibrin Pad as an Adjunct to Control Soft Tissue Bleeding During Abdominal, Retroperitoneal, Pelvic, and Thoracic Surgery
This study evaluated the hemostatic effectiveness and safety of Fibrin Pad (Omrix Biopharmaceuticals Ltd.) vs absorbable hemostat in patients undergoing nonemergent surgery. Fibrin Pad is a topical absorbable hemostat designed to be effective in a variety of soft tissues and across multiple bleeding intensities.Study Design: Patients 18 years and older, requiring abdominal, retroperitoneal, pelvic, or thoracic (noncardiac) surgery and with an appropriate soft-tissue target bleeding site (TBS), were randomized to receive Fibrin Pad or absorbable hemostat (NCT00658723). Patients were stratified by bleeding severity at the TB...

Hemostasis and Bone Regeneration Using Chitosan/Gelatin-BCP Bi-layer Composite Material
The aim of the study was to determine the hemostatic activity of a composite bi-layered topical hemostat composed of electrospun gelatin loaded with bi-phasic calcium phosphate and chitosan layer and its effect on bone formation. Morphology of the composite hemostat and its individual components were observed using scanning electron microscopy. In vitro biocompatibility of the topical hemostat tested using preosteoblasts cells (MC3t3-E1) showed no adverse toxicity. Confocal microscopy of seeded cells showed good cell adhesion while 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay indicated 15% incre...

Nailed It!
​What do you do for a nail from a nail gun in the hand? This procedure is simple, but you have to worry about the aftermath. Complicated issues may arise post-procedure in the days to weeks after extraction, including retained foreign bodies, infection, fractures, disability, pain, nerve damage, tendon rupture, and cosmetic concerns.​Removing the nail is only half the battle. Proper removal, treatment, and follow-up should be considered with all foreign bodies in the skin, especially the hand. Being prepared for the possible aftershocks will help your patient have a successful recovery.A 23-year-old man with a nail fro...

Percutaneous Suprapubic Stone Extraction for Posterior Urethral Stones in Children: Efficacy and Safety
Conclusion: PSPSE provides a minimally invasive approach for the extraction of urethral and bladder stones in the pediatric population. The use of a straight hemostat for suprapubic stone extraction or crushing is a good alternative to suprapubic tract dilation, with minimal morbidity.

Orbital Compartment Syndrome: Alternative Tools to Perform a Lateral Canthotomy and Cantholysis
Publication date: Available online 12 November 2015 Source:Wilderness & Environmental Medicine Author(s): Kenneth V. Iserson, Zelda Luke-Blyden, Scott Clemans Orbital compartment syndrome acutely threatens vision. Lateral canthotomy and cantholysis ameliorate the compartment syndrome and, to save a patient’s vision, must be performed in a timely manner. This requires appropriate tools. In resource-poor settings, the straight hemostat and iris scissors that are generally used for this procedure may be unavailable. In such situations, safe alternatives include using a multitool in place of a hemostat and a #11...

“Hemostat forceps” a simple and useful adjuvant to clip applicator forceps for clipping saccular cerebral aneurysms – Technical note
Publication date: December 2016 Source:Interdisciplinary Neurosurgery, Volume 6 Author(s): Mahesh Krishna Pillai, Smitha Thankappan Nair Despite technical and technological advances in Neurosurgery, in the last four decades, there has been no significant reduction, in the dimensions of the, aneurysm clip applicator forceps. This can be challenging, even to the most experienced neurovascular surgeon, especially when the surgical corridor created remains narrow, despite all possible measures to widen it. The author describes one such situation, where an anterior communicating artery aneurysm was clipped successfully using a...
