2015 MDEA Finalists: EVARREST

EVARREST, manufactured by Ethicon (United States), is a fibrin sealant patch indicated for use with manual compression as an adjunct to hemostasis for soft-tissue bleeding during open retroperitoneal, intraabdominal, pelvic, and noncardiac thoracic surgery when control of bleeding by standard surgical methods of hemostasis (e.g., suture, ligature, cautery) is ineffective or impractical.
