Surgeons Convene at Vienna Symposium to Experience Baxter’s HEMOPATCH Sealing Hemostat

Trusted for Over a Decade.

For over a decade, Hemopatch sealing hemostat has been a trusted companion in surgeries worldwide, providing critical support and precision under pressure, while evolving with the healthcare landscape.

A New Milestone: HEMOPATCH Sealing Hemostat, Now in Room Temperature

At a symposium in Vienna, Austria, Baxter unveiled the new Hemopatch sealing hemostat, a room-temperature collagen pad designed for hemostasis and sealing in both open and minimally invasive surgical procedures (MIS).¹ This event marked the culmination of a decade-long collaboration between experts and developers. Hemopatch sealing hemostat is a more thoughtful solution shaped directly by feedback from those who use it daily. During the event, expert speakers shared how their insights and experiences drove the development of the new Hemopatch sealing hemostat, addressing an audience of surgeons from diverse specialties.

General Surgeon Professor Selman Uranüs, an early adopter who attended the symposium, said:
“I first used Hemopatch sealing hemostat for experimental testing. Since then, I’ve used it daily for its unique sealing properties, especially in laparoscopic surgery. Eliminating the need for refrigeration and extending shelf life are crucial improvements, ensuring it’s available in the OR when it matters most.”

A Reaffirmation of Trust and Partnership

The symposium reaffirmed our shared commitment to continuous innovation. The new Hemopatch sealing hemostat is designed for direct accessibility in the OR, reflecting our dedication to advancing surgical care with practical tools. Its new configuration is the result of close collaboration with surgeons, ensuring it meets real clinical needs.

We look forward to sharing more as the global roll out continues.

INDICATIONS: Hemopatch Sealing Hemostat  is indicated as a hemostatic device and surgical sealant across various soft tissues (cardiovascular, connective tissue, parenchyma, serosa, viscera), and dura for procedures in which control of mild or moderate bleeding or leakage of other body fluids or air by conventional surgical techniques is either ineffective or impractical. Hemopatch Sealing Hemostat may be used to augment dura closure techniques to close small dural defects (≤3mm) following traumatic injury, excision, retraction or shrinkage of the dura mater. 

INTENDED PURPOSE: Hemopatch Sealing Hemostat is an absorbable collagen pad intended for sealing and hemostasis.

CONTRAINDICATIONS: Do not compress Hemopatch Sealing Hemostat into blood vessels or use intravascularly. The device must not be used in patients with known hypersensitivity to bovine proteins or brilliant blue (FD&C Blue No. 1 (Blue 1)). 

WARNINGS: Hemopatch Sealing Hemostat is not intended to be used in pulsatile, severe bleeding. The use of Hemopatch Sealing Hemostat is not recommended in the presence of an active infection. When used in, around, or in proximity to foramina in bone, areas of bony confine, the spinal cord, the brain and/or cranial nerves, care should be exercised to avoid overpacking (collagens may expand upon absorption of liquid), creating the potential for neural damage. Hemopatch Sealing Hemostat is not intended as a substitute for meticulous surgical technique and the proper application of ligatures or other conventional procedures for hemostasis and sealing.  

For safe and proper use of Hemopatch Sealing Hemostat, refer to full Instructions for Use.
