Clinical Trial: Evaluation of Fibrin Sealant 2 in Retroperitoneal or Intra-Abdominal Surgery

Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: Completed
Study Type: Interventional

Official Title: A Prospective, Randomized, Controlled Evaluation of Fibrin Sealant 2 (FS2) as an Adjunct to Hemostasis for Soft Tissue Bleeding During Retroperitoneal or Intra-Abdominal Surgery

Brief Summary: A comparison of fibrin sealant 2 versus Surgicel® as an addition to standard surgical practice in stopping mild to moderate soft tissue bleeding during retroperitoneal or intra-abdominal surgery.

Detailed Summary: The time it will take to stop bleeding will be measured and compared between patients who are treated with fibrin sealant 2 to those who are treated with Surgicel®.
