Abstract

We report a novel hemostatic method for using hemostatic patches impregnated with human fibrinogen and thrombin (TachoSil®) together with Esmarch’s bandage. The combined use of TachoSil® with Esmarch’s bandage is easy and inexpensive. Further, it would ensure sustained and appropriate pressure on the bleeding site, while providing further adhesive strength to TachoSil® at the site.
