A new effective intraoperative hemostat - Superstat

A new effective solvating hemostatic agent, Superstat, has been developed and evaluated in animals and man. It appears to work in part because of its large electron absorbing surface and in part due to the physiologic concentration of contained calcium. The available information from the first 130 patients in which it has been evaluated suggest that it has few, if any, side effects, leaves no residue following use, and is an extremely effective hemostat under most conditions and in all tested operative areas in man. Available data indicate that it has local effects which represent biochemical and ultra-structural interactions with shed blood.
