Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study is a post market, multi-centre, randomised study evaluating PerClot compared to usual care. PerClot is a CE marked device and is currently used as a haemostat in gynaecological surgery throughout Europe. The purpose of this study is to collect additional post market data on its use in this indication.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study is a post market, multi-centre, randomised study evaluating PerClot compared to usual care.

All subjects in this randomized study will undergo a laparoscopic or open gynecological procedure such as hysterectomy, cystectomy, myomectomy, endometrial excision or ablation. Subjects will be randomized to receive PerClot or usual care.

This research will utilize a multi-center, prospective, randomized controlled study. The study will be conducted in2 study sites in Europe. An assumed sample of 90 subjects will be enrolled to evaluate the time to haemostasis. The enrollment of subjects to receive treatment will be based upon specific inclusion and exclusion criteria. Subjects will be randomized on a 1:1 basis to receive either PerClot or usual care. Data collected from both arms will be compared.

Usual care will be at the discretion of the surgeon and may include any other haemostat or diathermy/electrocautery.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

PerClot

PerClot® Polysaccharide Hemostatic System (PerClot) is a medical device composed of absorbable polysaccharide particles (AMPs) and delivery applicators. Investigators will have the option to choose 3g or 5g dependent on the requirements of the patient

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

PerClot

Intervention Type DEVICE

Haemostatic device for the control of bleeding from capillary, venous or arteriolar vessels by pressure, ligature or other conventional means is either ineffective or impractical.

Usual Care

Usual care will consist of any other haemostat the Investigator would normally use in the control of bleeding i.e arista, Floseal, surgical, surgiflo. If the Investigator would not normally use a haemostat to control bleeding then electrocautery or diathermy may be used in this arm

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Floseal, Surgicel, Surgiflo, Arista
