Participant Flow

Enrollment commenced in February 2011 and completed in October 2011 at 8 investigative study sites in the United States.

Approximately 90 eligible subjects were planned for enrollment, randomization, and treatment. The enrollment stopped short of the targeted 90 subjects due to enrollment of more subjects in the parallel study being conducted in the Netherlands.

Participant milestones

Participant milestones
Measure
Fibrocaps + Gelfoam
After identification of a Target Bleeding Site (TBS), topical Fibrocaps powder will be applied using the Fibrospray device for general surgeries; and either the Fibrospray device or direct application for spinal and vascular surgeries, followed by application of Gelfoam and manual pressure with sterile gauze.
Gelfoam
Treatment will be Gelfoam followed by manual pressure with sterile gauze. If hemostasis has not been achieved within 10 minutes of the Start Time,the subject will be considered a treatment failure and the surgeon will implement additional hemostatic measures.
