What is:
VISTASEAL™ Fibrin Sealant (Human)
VISTASEAL™ mimics the clot formation process regardless of patient’s coagulation profile
What is the EVARREST™ Fibrin Sealant Patch made of?
What is:
EVARREST™ Fibrin Sealant Patch is a flexible sealant patch made of Oxidized regenerated cellulose (ORC), VICRYL® (polyglactin 910) fibers, and human thrombin and human fibrinogen
Maroon 5 would call it "SUGAR", but we refer to this powdery substance that creates a strong and durable clot as?
What is:

Some bleeding sites are difficult to access. Which product can flow into those nooks and crannies to stop bleeding, while avoiding damage to critical anatomy?
What is:
SURGIFLO®
When does the clot begin to form when using VISTASEAL™?
VISTASEAL™ contains human fibrinogen and human thrombin. Formation of the VISTASEAL fibrin clot begins to form as soon as the biologics mix.
VISTASEAL™ is prepped in half the time vs. competitors
When using EVARREST how long should one maintain compression?
What is:
Maintain manual compression for 3 minutes to control the bleeding
Today's higher viscosity SURGIFLO formulation contains how much more gelatin than when it was first introduced?
What is:
25% more gelatin.
This type of bleeding occurs in 51% of procedures and is more time-consuming than it is difficult
What is:
Continuous Oozing
How many times should the plunger be pushed to mix SURGIFLO® Hemostatic Matrix?
What is SIX to mix, Goo in the Blue
VISTASEAL™ provides a rapid, adherent, and durable clot at the bleeding site. Is CO2 required?
What is:
No CO2 needed with VISTASEAL, the Airless Spray Technology eliminates the need for external spraying equipment.
Does EVARREST require refrigeration?
What is:
No and it should never be frozen.
Store at 2-25 degrees C.
Name a benefit of SURGIFLO's pre-moistened gelatin.
What is:
Since SURGIFLO is pre-moistened it provides faster prep-time and more uniform consistency throughout the entire procedure.
The ________ Family of Absorbable Hemostats is the world's #1 trusted brand of topical absorbable hemostats with over 60 years of demonstrated safety and efficacy. It is estimated to be used every 2 seconds around the globe.
What is:
The SURGICEL® Family of Absorbable Hemostats
How long does Reconstituting thrombin take when preparing SURGIFLO® Hemostatic Matrix?
What is 13 seconds.
Usain Bolt is known as the fastest man in the world. Similarly, VISTASEAL is the fastest prep on the market. How long does it take VISTASEAL to thaw in a warm sterile water bath?
What is:
5 Minutes
EVARREST® Fibrin Sealant Patch and 78.8% ?
What is:
EVARREST® Fibrin Sealant Patch demonstrated superior hemostatic efficacy on the 1st attempt in aortic reconstruction surgery
How much prep time does SURGIFLO® Hemostatic Matrix Kit save vs. SURGIFOAM® Absorbable Gelatin Powder?
What is:
SURGIFOAM® Absorbable Gelatin Powder takes close to two minutes to prepare. SURGIFLO® takes about 45 seconds, and as little as half a minute - you save over a minute with SURGIFLO®
Which form of SURGICEL® is 89% faster to hemostasis than its competitor, bactericidal and creates a strong and durable clot that may be irrigated intra-operatively.
What is:
SURGICEL® Powder
Is SURGIFLO® Hemostatic Matrix fast to prep vs. the competition.
What is:
SURGIFLO® stops bleeding before the competitor is ready to use.
How does VISTASEAL Fibrin Sealant support sustainability?
What is:
Reusable packaging such as the Pelican Biothermal Shipper can reduce environmental impact by up to 75% with no added cost to your facility.
Must EVARREST® Fibrin Sealant Patch be removed after the clot is formed risking a re-bleed?
What is:
No. The patch’s adhesive strength forms a tight yet flexible physical seal that maintains a barrier to bleeding, conforming to a wide range of surgical sites. The patch provides mechanical integrity and supports clot formation while the biologics facilitate hemostasis.
Adding more and more dish soap to your car wash water-bucket reaches a point of foamy diminishing return. Does the same hold true for Thrombin in a Hemostatic Matrix?
What is:
Thrombin is an enzyme catalyst that reacts with Fibrinogen which then allows it to polymerize into Fibrin strands. Adding more thrombin may make the conversion faster until you reach a certain point, at which it plateaus and does not provide any additional advantage.
