For Surgery	Lyophilized fibrin sealant designed to stop severe bleeding
Effective control of bleeding in surgery	ClotBlock® is a second-generation lyophilized fibrin sealant shaped as a compressed sponge, patch or gauze in various sizes and shapes to adapt to every surgical need. It bypasses fibrinogen cleavage, producing a strong fibrin polymer.
Indication	Control of intraopertive bleeding. Can be used as an adjunct to hemostasis or as primary treatment; no stitches or sutures needed. ClotBlock provides a flexible choice where arterial hemostasis is critically important.
	Spleen laceration   Partial nephrectomy
Mode of Action	ClotBlock's fibrin-ready technology stanches the flow of blood from a lesion by gently pressing it against the surface of the organ for a few seconds. Produced as a solid cake, a flexible gauze, a small ball or catheter-size cylinder, ClotBlock offers flexibility to the surgeon by conforming to the contour of the organ.
Advantages	ClotBlock is a plasmin-depleted, aprotinin-free fibrin presenting no risk of autoimmune reaction, and minimal risk of anaphylactic or systemic reaction to human blood products. ClotBlock fibrin products can be kept at room temperature.
