Contents of the pack and other information
1.
What EVICEL is and what it is used for
EVICEL is a Human Fibrin Sealant which is supplied as a package
containing two separate vials, each
containing 1 ml, 2 ml or 5 ml of solution (Human Fibrinogen and Human
Thrombin respectively).
An application device and appropriate accessory tips are supplied
separately.
Fibrinogen is a concentrate of clottable protein and thrombin is an
enzyme that causes clottable protein to
coalesce. Thus, when the two components are mixed together they clot
instantly.
EVICEL is applied in adults during surgical operations to reduce
bleeding and oozing during and after the
operation.
EVICEL can be used in blood vessel surgery and in surgery taking place
on the posterior abdominal wall.
EVICEL can also be used to support the watertight closure of the
cerebral envelopes (dura mater) during
neurosurgery when other surgical techniques are insufficient.
It is dripped or sprayed onto cut tissue where it forms a thin layer
that seals the tissue and/or stops bleeding.

CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1
Therapeutic indications
EVICEL is indicated in adults as supportive treatment in surgery where
standard surgical techniques are
insufficient, for improvement of haemostasis (see section 5.1).
EVICEL is also indicated in adults as suture support for haemostasis
in vascular surgery and for suture line
sealing in dura mater closure.
4.2
Posology and method of administration
The use of EVICEL is restricted to experienced surgeons who have been
trained in the use of EVICEL.
Posology
The volume of EVICEL to be applied and the frequency of application
should always be oriented towards
the underlying clinical needs of 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 controlled clinical trials in
vascular surgery, the individual dosage used was up to 4 ml; for
suture line sealing in dura mater closure,
doses of up to 8 ml were used, whereas in retroperitoneal or
intra-abdominal surgery the individual dosage
used was up to 10 ml. However, for some procedures (e.g., liver
traumata) larger volumes may be required.

site or target surface area should be
