Efficacy of BloodSTOP iX, Surgicel, and Gelfoam in Rat Models of Active Bleeding From Partial Nephrectomy and Aortic Needle Injury

The BloodSTOP iX hemostatic surgical matrix was more effective in reducing the bleeding time than Surgicel in a rat model of partial nephrectomy. Similarly, in an aortic needle injury model, BloodSTOP iX achieved hemostasis faster than Gelfoam or Surgicel.
