4. • Trim to fit in the bleeding area
Difficult to use trimmings for non-sterile area
• Some are absorbable
Weeks to be absorbed
• Should remove when applied in sensitive areas
Could also remove the clot if proper procedure is not followed
• Most are of animal origin (bovine or porcine)
Could result in allergic reaction
Regulatory concern
• Some are of Oxidized Regenerated Cellulose (Wood Pulp)
• Weeks to be absorbed
5. • Use on severed arteries and blood vessels
• Catgut supply becoming limited due to BSE issues
• Synthetic suture not always absorbable
• Some synthetic suture knots could lose tension resulting in seepage
• Hemostasis use limited to type of bleeders
6. • Generated coagulation by generation of heat
• Limited use
• Equipment could be very expensive
