New Product - TachoSil

TachoSil (human fibrinogen and human thrombin) is a biodegradable, highly flexible, hygroscopic surgical medicated sponge. Upon contact with physiological fluids such as blood, lymph or physiological saline solution, the components of the coating dissolve and partly diffuse into the wound surface. TachoSil is indicated as an adjunct to haemostasis during surgery when control of bleeding by standard surgical techniques is ineffective or impractical. Do not apply TachoSil intravascularly. Intravascular application of TachoSil may result in life-threatening thromboembolic events. Tachosil is available as a pack of 2 4.8 cm x 4.8 cm sponges and a pack of 1 9.5 cm x 4.8 cm sponge. Each of the presentations contains 5.5 mg per square centimetre of human fibrinogen and 2 IU per square centimetre of human thrombin. Each sponge is individually packaged in a blister sealed pack with HDPE foil, packed in an aluminium bonded foil sachet with a desiccant bag.
