What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Median Time to Achieve Hemostasis Following Application of Study Treatment.

    Stopwatches will be provided to document time to hemostasis. Hemostasis will be assessed every 30 seconds until the 5-minute time point, at which point the visual inspection will continue at one-minute intervals up to 10 minutes or until hemostasis is achieved.

    Measured: Intra-operative (day 1)

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Number of Subjects to Achieve Hemostasis Within 3 Minutes of Study Treatment Application

    Stopwatches will be provided to document time to hemostasis. Hemostasis will be assessed every 30 seconds until the 5-minute time point, at which point the visual inspection will continue at one-minute intervals up to 10 minutes or until hemostasis is achieved.

    Measured: Intra-operative (day 1)

  2. Number of Subjects With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events

    Measured: Up to 30 days post surgery.
