A new hemostatic agent: initial life-saving experience with Celox (chitosan) in cardiothoracic surgery
Ann Thorac Surg.
2009 Feb.
Abstract
Celox (MedTrade Products Ltd, Cheshire, UK) is a proprietary preparation of chitosan, indicated for moderate to severe hemorrhage and currently used for hemostasis in the emergency and military settings. We describe its lifesaving use in 2 patients undergoing cardiothoracic surgery in which conventional techniques had failed.
