Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Pre-Operative: Paediatric subjects aged =28 days (= 1 month) to =65 years) no F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Pre-Operative: 1. Subjects with known intolerance to blood products or to one of the components of the study product or is unwilling to receive blood products; 2. Female subjects, who are of childbearing age (i.e. adolescent), who are pregnant or nursing; 3. Subject is currently participating or plans to participate in any other investigational device or drug without prior approval from the Sponsor; 4. Subjects who are known, current alcohol and/or drug abusers 5. Subjects admitted for trauma surgery 6. Subjects with any pre or intra-operative findings identified by the surgeon that may preclude conduct of the study procedure. Intra-Operative: 7. Subject with TBS in an actively infected field (Class III Contaminated or Class IV Dirty or Infected) 8. TBS is from large defects in arteries or veins where the injured vascular wall requires repair with maintenance of vessel patency and which would result in persistent exposure of the EVARREST or SURGICEL to blood flow and pressure during healing and absorption of the product; 9. TBS with major arterial bleeding requiring suture or mechanical ligation; 10. Bleeding site is in, around, or in proximity to foramina in bone, or areas of bony confine.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and haemostatic effectiveness of the EVARREST® Fibrin Sealant Patch in controlling mild or moderate bleeding during open hepatic, abdominal, pelvic, retroperitoneal, and thoracic (non-cardiac) surgery in paediatric patients.;Secondary Objective: not applicable;Primary end point(s): Absolute time to haemostasis defined as the absolute time elapsed from randomisation to the last moment in time at which detectable bleeding at the TBS is observed.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Starting from randomisation to the last moment in time at which detectable bleeding at the TBS is observed

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): 1. Proportion of subjects achieving haemostatic success at 4 minutes following randomisation and no bleeding requiring treatment at the TBS occurs any time prior to final fascial closure 2. Proportion of subjects achieving haemostatic success at 10 minutes following randomisation and no bleeding requiring treatment at the TBS occurs any time prior to final fascial closure 3. Portion of subjects with no re-bleeding at the TBS 4. Incidence of adverse events that are potentially related to bleeding at the TBS 5. Incidence of adverse events that are potentially related to thrombotic events 6. Incidence of re-treatment at the TBS 7. Incidence of adverse events 8. Summarization of Haemoglobin, Haematocrit, Platelets laboratory results, volume of blood loss, & volume of blood and blood products transfusions;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 1. 4 minutes following treatment application and through to the end of surgical procedure 2. 10 minutes following treatment application and through to the end of surgical procedure 3. From randomisation to the end of surgical procedure 4. From randomisation through 30 day follow up visit 5. From randomisation through 30 day follow up visit 6. From randomisation to the end of surgical procedure 7. From randomisation through 30 day follow up visit 8. From baseline through 30 day follow up visit
