Clinical Study Evaluating the Performance of HEMOBLAST Bellows Compared to FLOSEAL Hemostatic Matrix in Cardiothoracic Operations

The HEMOBLAST™ Bellows hemostatic agent consists of a bellows pre-loaded with 1.65g of powder composed of collagen, chondroitin sulfate, and thrombin (1500 IU). HEMOBLAST™ Bellows is indicated in surgical procedures as an adjunct to hemostasis when control of minimal, mild, and moderate bleeding by conventional procedures is ineffective or impractical, except in neurosurgical, ophthalmic, and urological procedures.

The FLOSEAL Matrix consists of a bovine-derived Gelatin Matrix component, a human-derived Thrombin component, applicator tips, and several mixing accessories. FLOSEAL is indicated in surgical procedures (other than ophthalmic) as an adjunct to hemostasis when control of bleeding by ligature or conventional procedures is ineffective or impractical.
