Abstract

1. Allergic reactions can occur with the use of topical hemostatic agents. 2. Some hemostatic agents may be used in combination to provide more effective hemostasis (eg, thrombin and Gelfoam). 3. Documentation should be made of any hemostatic agent left in situ at the time of closure. 4. Use of topical hemostatic agents is generally contraindicated in contaminated wounds.
