Study Arms (2)
Standard of Care (SoC)
ACTIVE COMPARATORSoC: conventional hemostatic techniques such as cautery and manual compression
FLOSEAL + Standard of Care (SoC)
EXPERIMENTALFLOSEAL: consists of bovine-derived gelatin granules and a human plasma-derived thrombin component. SoC: conventional hemostatic techniques such as cautery and manual compression
Interventions
Conventional hemostatic techniques, such as cautery and manual compression, will be used.
FLOSEAL will be applied topically to areas of the knee where bleeding is observed (e.g. cut bone surfaces, subcutaneous tissue, posterior joint capsule, synovial tissue, medial and lateral gutters, branches of the genicular vessels, and suprapatellar pouch) and will occur intraoperatively. Sufficient amounts of FLOSEAL will be applied quickly using the provided applicators, followed by immediate approximation with a damp gauze, lap pad or sponge for approximately 2 minutes. \+ Standard of care: conventional hemostatic techniques, such as cautery and manual compression, will be used
