Haemostasis and healing following median sternotomy

Abstract:
Experiments in goats showed that the application of bone wax to the divided sternum retarded healing. An autologous red cell compound was an efficient haemostatic and lacked the obstructive effect of wax. A human autologous red cell compound has been applied to the sterna of 15 patients following median sternotomy with good effect.
