Hemostasis Solution Controls Bleeding during Surgery
A novel handheld device delivers a powder based on collagen to help surgeons achieve hemostatic bleeding control during surgical procedures.The Biom ’Up (Saint-Priest, France) HemoBlast Bellows is a sterile delivery device that is preloaded with a dry, sterile powder made of highly purified porcine collagen, glucose, chondroitin sulfate, and thrombin. The hemostatic powder is applied to the source of the bleeding by squeezing the bellows. Once applied, the powdered collagen and glucose components start the coagulation process by absorbing blood, concentrating coagulation factors and platelets, and providing a surface for...

Hemostatic granules and dressing prepared from formulations of carboxymethyl cellulose, kappa-carrageenan and polyethylene oxide crosslinked by gamma radiation
In this study, we prepared biocompatible hydrogel-based hemostat crosslinked by ionizing radiation. Granules made from carboxymethyl cellulose and dressing from kappa carrageenan and polyethylene oxide were characterized by FT-IR, SEM, and gel analysis. Gamma radiation with a dose of 25kGy was used for sterilization process. Stability studies indicate that the products remain effective with a shelf life of up to 18 months based on accelerated aging. Both hemostatic agents were demonstrated to be effective in vitro blood clotting assays showing a low blood clotting index, high platelet adhesion capacity and accelerated clot...

Potent Hemostatic Efficacy of a Novel Recombinant Fibrin Sealant Patch (KTF-374) in Rabbit Bleeding Models.
CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that KTF-374 possesses more potent hemostatic properties than FCCF for various patterns of bleeding. KTF-374 is a promising hemostat due to its potent efficacy and good visibility of the wound site through the patch. PMID: 29260920 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Porous chitosan microspheres containing zinc ion for enhanced thrombosis and hemostasis
Publication date: 1 April 2018 Source:Materials Science and Engineering: C, Volume 85 Author(s): Meng Pan, Zonghao Tang, Jianbing Tu, Zhengchao Wang, Qinhui Chen, Rongdong Xiao, Haiqing Liu Quick hemostats for non-lethal massive traumatic bleeding in battlefield and civilian accidents are important for reducing mortality and medical costs. Chitosan (CS) has been widely used as a clinic hemostat. To enhance its hemostatic efficiency, Zn2+ in the form of zinc alginate (ZnAlg) was introduced to CS to make porous CS@ZnAlg microspheres with ZnAlg component on the surface. Such microspheres were prepared by successive steps of ...

Excision of sebaceous cyst by intraoral approach: A case report
Rationale: Surgical removal of a sebaceous cyst is usually accomplished through an external incision, which inevitably results in a scar. Herein, we described an intraoral approach for excising sebaceous cysts located in the lip or cheek near lip commissure, to avoid a skin scar. Patient concerns: Removal of the cyst but without leaving a scar on the face. Diagnoses: Six patients were diagnosed with a subcutaneous cyst located in the lip or cheek near lip commissure. Interventions: We implemented an intraoral approach to excise the cyst, wherein an intraoral incision was made and blunt dissection was performed t...

Scientists Develop Squirtable Glue That Seals Wounds In Seconds
A potentially life-saving surgical glue that is highly elastic and adhesive can quickly seal wounds in seconds without the need for common staples or sutures.The surgical glue, called MeTro, is a development from biomedical engineers at the University of Sydney and biomedical engineers from Harvard University.MeTro has a high elasticity that can seal wounds in body tissues that need to expand and contract continuously, like the lungs, heart and arteries. Wounds on these types of tissues are prone to re-opening after sealing with staples and sutures.The glue is also beneficial for wounds that are in hard-to-reach places tha...

Wrist Arthroscopy Under Portal Site Local Anesthesia Without Tourniquet and Sedation
We had developed the technique of portal site local anaesthesia (PSLA) for wrist arthroscopy. Two percent lidocaine with 1:200,000 epinephrine is injected through a 25G needle to various portal sites. The radiocarpal joint is then distended with saline injection and portal is created with transverse superficial skin incision followed by dilation with curved hemostat. The patient is neither sedated, nor under general or regional anaesthesia. Tourniquet is not routinely used. PSLA can achieve satisfactory comfort level in 88% of our 111 patients without any complication. In well-selected patients, it is a safe and comfortable procedure.

Comparison of 2 modified methods for the active removal of silicone oil with a 23-gauge transconjunctival vitrectomy system
Abstract To report and compare 2 modified approaches for the active removal of silicone oil (ROSO) with a 23-gauge transconjunctival vitrectomy system. This prospective single blinded study was conducted from January 2015 to December 2016. Eighty-nine eyes of 86 patients who underwent silicone oil removal were enrolled. Patients were randomly divided into either group A or B. In group A, the fluid–air exchange tube was connected to a 1 mL syringe with the plunger removed and the tip was dilated with a hemostat so that it fit into the cap of the 23-gauge cannula to form a seal for oil drainage. In group B, the tip of t...

Selective Stimulation of Facial Muscles Following Chronic Intraneural Electrode Array Implantation and Facial Nerve Injury in the Feline Model
Conclusion: We have established in the animal model the ability of a chronically implanted MEA to selectively stimulate restricted FN fiber populations and elicit activations in specific facial muscles. Likewise, after FN injury, selective stimulation of restricted FN fiber populations and subsequent activation of discrete facial muscles can be achieved after acute MEA implantation.

History of the Hemostat
When trying to achieve hemostasis it is easy to take for granted the convenience of the modern hemostat. Used pervasively in surgery to assist in ligating vessels, its role in hemostasis was initially controversial, and its development spanned thousands of years.
