CoStasis, a collagen-based composite, achieved immediate hemostasis in spinal surgery, significantly reducing blood loss compared to standard methods. This promotes CoStasis as an effective option for spinal reconstructive procedures.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Biomaterials
  • Surgical Hemostasis

Background:

  • Excessive blood loss is a significant concern in thoracolumbar spinal reconstructive procedures.
  • Current hemostatic methods may result in protracted bleeding and increased perioperative blood loss.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the hemostatic effectiveness of a collagen-based composite (CoStasis) with standard methods in spinal reconstructive surgery.
  • To evaluate the impact of CoStasis on perioperative blood loss and transfusion requirements.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective study comparing CoStasis (n=10) with manual compression using gauze and sponges (n=9) in patients undergoing thoracolumbar spinal reconstruction.
  • Assessment of immediate hemostasis at the operative site.
  • Measurement of average perioperative blood loss, total transfusion requirements, and operative duration.

Main Results:

  • Immediate hemostasis was achieved in all patients treated with CoStasis.
  • Protracted bleeding was observed in all patients treated with standard gauze and sponges (P < .01).
  • CoStasis patients had approximately half the perioperative blood loss (685 mL vs 1322 mL; P = .02) and lower transfusion needs compared to controls.

Conclusions:

  • CoStasis demonstrates superior hemostatic effectiveness in thoracolumbar spinal reconstructive procedures.
  • The collagen-based composite significantly reduces perioperative blood loss and may decrease transfusion requirements.
  • CoStasis is a promising agent for managing bleeding in complex spinal surgeries like instrumented fusion.
