Brief summary

The purpose of the study is to assess efficacy and safety of HemoStyp as an adjunct for management of secondary hemostasis in the operative setting.

Detailed description

This study is a prospective, non-inferiority, multi-center, randomized, open-label trial to compare HemoStyp with Surgicel® in the management of bleeding during surgery.

Interventions

DEVICEHemoStyp

During elective surgical procedure (non-laparoscopic thoracic, cardiac, abdominal, or vascular surgery) subject has mild to moderate soft tissue, vascular or parenchymal bleeding present at target bleeding site after primary standard conventional surgical hemostatic methods are proven to be ineffective or impractical will have Hemostyp applied in accordance to instructions for use.

DEVICESurgicel

During elective surgical procedure (non-laparoscopic thoracic, cardiac, abdominal, or vascular surgery) subject has mild to moderate soft tissue, vascular or parenchymal bleeding present at target bleeding site after primary standard conventional surgical hemostatic methods are proven to be ineffective or impractical will have Surgicel applied in accordance to instructions for use.

The time to hemostasis was considered as censored at the end of the 10-minute observation period. Time to hemostasis was quantified in minutes according to its nominal time point. When re-bleeding occurred, and the cessation of bleeding is again achieved at a later time point, the effective time to hemostasis was the latter time point. The time to hemostasis was the time from start of study treatment to that last effective hemostatic time point.

The Time to Hemostasis Measured From Start of Study Treatment to the Achievement of Hemostasis at the Target Bleeding Site (TBS), or to the End of the 10-minute Observation Period.

The time to hemostasis was measured from start of study treatment to the achievement of hemostasis at the target bleeding site (TBS), or to the end of the 10-minute observation period. The time to hemostasis was considered as censored at the end of the 10-minute observation period. Time to hemostasis was quantified in minutes according to its nominal time point. When re-bleeding occurred, and the cessation of bleeding is again achieved at a later time point, the effective time to hemostasis was the latter time point. The time to hemostasis was the time from start of study treatment to that last effective hemostatic time point.
