Floseal 5ml Injection

Floseal 5ml Injection stands out because it works on "wet" tissue and actively bleeding sites. Unlike passive hemostats that rely entirely on the body's natural clotting ability, Floseal provides a biological "jumpstart."

How Floseal Works

1. Mechanical Action: The gelatin granules swell upon contact with blood, creating a physical barrier and applying pressure to the bleeding vessels.

2. Biochemical Action: The human thrombin converts the patient’s own fibrinogen into fibrin, accelerating the formation of a stable, natural clot.

3. Conformability: Its flowable nature allows it to reach deep into crevices and irregular wound sites where patches or sponges cannot fit.

Clinical Administration & Storage Protocols

1. Preparation: Floseal must be "assembled" in the operating room. The thrombin is reconstituted and then mixed with the gelatin matrix using a specialized syringe-to-syringe technique.

2. Application: It is applied directly to the site of active bleeding. Once hemostasis is achieved (usually within 2 minutes), any excess matrix should be gently rinsed away to avoid interference with wound healing.

3. Mandatory Storage: Store at controlled room temperature between 2°C and 25°C (36°F to 77°F). Do not freeze.

4. Usage Window: Once mixed, the matrix should be used within 8 hours for maximum efficacy.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• Is Floseal safe to leave in the body? Yes. Floseal is fully absorbable. The body typically resorbs the gelatin granules within 6 to 8 weeks, leaving no permanent foreign material at the surgical site.

• Can Floseal be used in all surgeries? Floseal is versatile but is generally not indicated for use in ophthalmic (eye) procedures or for the closure of skin incisions, as it may interfere with skin edge healing.

• How fast does it work? In most clinical scenarios, Floseal achieves successful hemostasis in less than 2 minutes.

• Does Milan Medicals ship Floseal to the USA and UAE? Yes. We specialize in the logistics of sensitive surgical products. We provide monitored, tracked shipping to the USA, UAE, KSA, and UK, ensuring the product stays within the required 2°C to 25°C range.

• What are the risks of using Floseal? Risks are rare but can include local infection or an inflammatory response. It should not be used in patients with known allergies to bovine (cow) materials.
