Dr. Tim Floyd Speaks on SurgiCLOT^®

"SurgiCLOT^® is absolutely going to be a game changer in the field of orthopedic surgery, or any kind of surgery that involves bone, such as heart surgery, EMT, Neurosurgery, all kinds of surgery will benefit."

"After using SurgiCLOT^® in 10 spinal fusion cases, I now have additional ideas and potential areas where SurgiCLOT^® can be used, e.g., in cases of large brain tumors (meningiomas and gliomas) to prevent tumor bed hematomas."

"I have now had the opportunity to use St Teresa's SurgiCLOT^® product in both the animal model and in the treatment of patients undergoing spine surgery. I have been impressed with its handling characteristics and its efficacy. Epidural bleeding was stopped rapidly and permanently. Once the epidural bleeding had been controlled it was once again possible to mobilize the dura without restarting the bleeding. Perhaps most important is the knowledge that the product does not swell and therefore can be left within the surgical field if necessary. I have also had the opportunity to use the product in the animal model looking at both arterial and venous injuries. It was possible to control arterial bleeds with little difficulty, making tricky surgical situations such as a tear to the back side of the iliac vessels in the setting of anterior lumbar interbody fusion or segmental vessels in the setting of direct lateral approaches, reconstructions and fusions safer and easier to control."
