Indication
EVARREST® is a fibrin sealant patch indicated for use with manual compression as an adjunct to hemostasis in adult patients undergoing surgery, when control of bleeding by conventional surgical techniques (such as suture, ligature, and cautery) is ineffective or impractical.
MOA
After appropriate application and manual compression for 3 minutes, blood passes through the patch, rather than pooling beneath it. Activation of fibrinogen and thrombin results in clot formation at the bleeding surface and within the patch. Adhesive strength forms a physical seal with tissue and maintains a flexible barrier to bleeding.
