Floseal 5ml Injection

Floseal Hemostatic Matrix Injection

Floseal Hemostatic Matrix Injection is a hemostatic agent designed for rapid control of bleeding during surgical procedures. This advanced gel matrix combines human-derived thrombin with a gelatin matrix, which work together to accelerate clotting and minimize blood loss effectively. Floseal is used in various surgical settings where immediate hemostasis is crucial, supporting wound healing and reducing procedural complications.

Uses

• Control of Intraoperative Bleeding: Effective in controlling bleeding during a variety of surgical procedures.
• Wound Healing Support: Helps facilitate faster clotting and wound stabilization.
• Reduction of Blood Loss: Minimizes surgical blood loss, contributing to better outcomes.

How Floseal Works

Floseal works by combining a gelatin-based matrix with human thrombin. When applied to a bleeding site, it forms a clot quickly by facilitating thrombin’s natural function, which converts fibrinogen into a fibrin clot. This process offers robust hemostasis, even in challenging bleeding scenarios.

Common Side Effects

• Local swelling at the application site
• Mild irritation or sensitivity reactions
• Temporary tissue inflammation

Serious Side Effects (Seek Medical Attention)

• Severe allergic reactions
• Thromboembolic events if applied improperly

Key Features

• Combines human-derived thrombin and gelatin matrix for effective hemostasis.
• Promotes rapid clotting to control bleeding during surgery.
• Flexible application to various surgical procedures with reliable results.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
