PerStat Medical Systems, Inc. is proud to announce a new Autologous physiologic glue, which will assist the surgeon to …

Gain hemostasis

Seal wound surfaces

Potentially increase rate of wound healing

Surgeons are all too familiar with the fact that …

Postoperative loss of critical body fluids can defeat an otherwise successful surgical outcome

Serous fluid exudates can slow the healing of wounds and serve as a culture medium for infection

Highly vascular tissue, once cut, will bleed even through the eschar of electrocautery, and continue to produce exudates for long periods, after frank blood loss ceases

Cryoprecipitate and fibrin glue is costly, difficult to obtain, and may be a source of HIV transmission

This autologous procedure …

Is safe:

  • No opportunity for clerical error
  • No need for predonation
  • No fear of viral transmission

(HIV), hepatitis, etc.)

Is reliable and immediately available:

  • Rapid setup time

(needs an IV of 16 Ga or larger)

  • Rapid processing time

Is efficacious:

  • Healing time improved due to control of bleeding and potential of increased wound healing rate
  • Is performed once the patient is under anesthesia on the OR table
  • Takes only a few minutes to prepare approximately 100 cc of platelet gel (glue)
  • Can be used in conjunction with perfusion, or autotransfusion procedures, improving cost reduction
