WHAT VERASEAL IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
VeraSeal contains human fibrinogen and human thrombin, two proteins
extracted from the blood that
form a clot when they are mixed together.
VeraSeal is used as a sealant during surgical operations in adults. It
is applied to the surface of
bleeding tissue to reduce bleeding during and after the operation when
standard surgical techniques are
not sufficient.

POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
The use of VeraSeal is restricted to experienced surgeons who have
been trained in the use of this
medicinal product.
Posology
The volume of VeraSeal to be applied and the frequency of application
should always be oriented
towards the underlying clinical needs for the patient.
The dose to be applied is governed by variables including, but not
limited to, the type of surgical
intervention, the size of the area and the mode of intended
application, and the number of applications.
Application of the product must be individualised by the treating
physician. In clinical trials, the
individual doses have typically ranged from 0.3 to 12 ml. For other
procedures, larger volumes may be
required.
3
The initial volume of the product to be applied at a chosen anatomic
site or target surface area should
be sufficient to entirely cover the intended application area. The
application can be repeated, if
necessary.
