Surgical Hemostasis

When uncontrolled bleeding occurs in the surgical and trauma settings it can extend the length of a surgical procedure, impair wound healing, and increase the risk of infection and mortality rates. Therefore, achieving hemostasis is critical in helping prevent serious consequences of uncontrolled bleeding.1Healthcare professionals have used a variety of options to achieve hemostasis during surgery, which includes standard surgical techniques such as suture, ligature, or cautery. When these standard techniques are ineffective or impractical, surgeons may use other options to stop bleeding, such as topical hemostatic agents.2-4Materials
