Vascular Trauma Revisited
Trauma with bleeding from named vessels has been treated since antiquity. Many of the techniques used in the modern era to control bleeding such as manual compression, cauterization, and proximal and distal ligatures were described before 1000 AD. Even the earliest version of a hemostat, Ambrose Pare ’s “Bec de Corbin”, was described in the 1500s.

J & J ’ s Ethicon launches ProxiSure laparoscopic suturing device
Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ) subsidiary Ethicon said today it launched the ProxiSure laparoscopic suturing device. Ethicon said the device features its endomechanical, suture and curved needle technologies to improve suturing precision in tight spaces. The device allows surgeons to reach desired angles, control bites and secure nots during suturing and knot tying to reduce the risk of needle loss, the company added. “With the patient’s health at the forefront of our thinking, we aimed to introduce a suturing device that will help reduce the margin of error in minimally-invasive surgery. Surgeons will now b...

How slugs are creating better medical adhesives
[Image from Jianya Li, Adam D. Celiz, David J. Mooney]Slug mucus is the inspiration behind a new adhesive to close surgical wounds and reduce the use of surgical staples, according to new research out of Harvard. Some of the current adhesives on the market can be toxic and stick together tissues weakly. Some can’t be used in wet environments altogether, which can pose a problem for closing tissues in the body. Harvard University engineering researcher Jianya Li and his team used the defensive mucus secreted by slugs to develop a surgical glue that addresses the challenges associated with previous adhesives. Li and his te...

Slug slime inspires new surgical glue
(Reuters) – Scientists have developed an experimental surgical glue inspired by the mucus secreted by slugs that could offer an alternative to sutures and staples for closing wounds. While some medical glues already exist, they often adhere weakly, are not particularly flexible and frequently cannot be used in very wet conditions. To get around those problems, a group of scientists from Harvard and other research centers decided to learn from slugs, which – as well as making slime to glide on – can produce extremely adhesive mucus as a defense mechanism. The slugs’ trick is to generate a substance t...

Superiority of Roeder's Knot for Fascial Mesh Fixation in a Cadaveric Model.
CONCLUSIONS: This study shows that Roeder's knot is superior to the regular sliding knot in securing the mesh to the abdominal wall. It can be tightened appropriately and leads to less variation when used properly. It has many other applications that stem from its ability to be advanced with different degrees of tightness based on body habitus and the operative requirements. PMID: 28689486 [PubMed - in process]

TissuGlu ® Surgical Adhesive enables drain-free recovery in patients undergoing DIEP flap breast reconstruction
RALEIGH, N.C., June 08, 2017 -- Outcomes of the SANA Gerresheim series demonstrated that effective donor-site flap closure with TissuGlu Surgical Adhesive is a viable alternative to post-surgical drains. Dr. Sonia Fertsch presented the series, which included 41 DIEP flap breast reconstructions, at the EURAPS Research Council Meeting in Pisa last month. The annual event allows young surgeons to present top research initiatives to an audience of plastic surgeons and researchers from around the world. During a DIEP flap reconstruction, blood vessels, skin and fat of the lower abdomen are removed and utilized to reco...

Snake venom is key ingredient in experimental drug for heart patients
An experimental antiplatelet drug has surprising bite. Based on a protein found in snake venom, the new drug prevented blood clotting in mice without causing excessive bleeding after an injury, according to research published Thursday in the journal Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis and Vascular Biology. The drug has yet to be tested in humans.Bleeding is a common side effect in the current crop of available antiplatelet drugs, which are usually prescribed for heart patients to prevent blood cells, called platelets, from clumping together and forming clots. Depending on where they occur, clots can lead to a stroke or heart atta...

FDA clears Ethicon ’ s Surgicel powdered hemostat
Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ) subsidiary Ethicon said today it won FDA approval for its Surgicel powder absorbable hemostat designed as an adjunctive hemostatic solution to control continuous oozing on broad or raw surfaces. The Surgicel powdered hemostat is comprised of oxidized regenerated cellulose, the base component in all of its Surgicel products. The powdered solution comes with an applicator and is designed to penetrate through oozing blood and form clots that stay intact even when the surgical field is irrigated, Ethicon said. “This new and innovative approach to applying ORC, combined with the proven tr...

Hemostatic agents market is estimated to reach USD 8,347.9 Million by 2022
Surgery is a foundational component of health-care systems. Over 51 million hospital-based surgical procedures are performed annually worldwide. The effective management of bleeding to achieve hemostasis during surgical procedures is essential to promote positive outcomes. As surgical procedures evolve to be more refined and noninvasive, the utilization of fast acting biologically and synthetically derived hemostats, encompassing fibrin sealants, flowable gelatins and adhesives, is becoming increasingly prevalent. Some of the parameters for choosing a hemostatic agent includes efficiency, type of surgery, patient condition...

The education of a surgeon
The Education of a Surgeon is one surgeon's view of how medicine has progressed through several centuries. However, one problem is that it does not mention several major events, including Medicare. Also, some paragraphs seem written expressly for the nonphysician, whereas others clearly require medical education. Some heroes go unnamed or ignored. The importance of the hemostat is noted, but not that it was made practical by Jules- Émile Péan who introduced a toothed locking mechanism in the handle.
