In June, with the help of a specialist from the company 3-D Matrix (https://3dmatrix.com/products/purastat), we conducted the first training sessions for users of this endoscopic hemostatic material.
PuraStat is a synthetic haemostatic material in the form of a prefilled syringe.
PuraStat is indicated for haemostasis in the following situations encountered during surgery, when haemostasis by ligation or standard means is insufficient or impractical1:
- Bleeding from small blood vessels and oozing from capillaries of the parenchyma and surrounding tissues of solid organs
- Oozing from vascular anastomoses to native or artificial vessels, on the surface of blood vessels and surrounding tissues
- Bleeding from small vessels and oozing from capillaries of the GI tract and surrounding tissues
- Reduction of delayed bleeding following gastrointestinal endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) procedures in the colon
