Hemopatch Versus No Hemopatch (Renal Transplant)
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Kidney transplantation remains one of the most common organ transplanted today but the surgical technique has changed very little from the original pelvic operation. The deceased donor renal transplant poses a particular challenge to the surgeon due to lack of detailed pre operative vascular assessment. The hemopatch is a promising new sealing synthetic hemostatIc agent with a novel dual mechanism of action that is more convenient to apply rather then using other hemostatic agents, which require warming and/or mixing.

Experimental: Hemopatch The hemopatch is a promising new sealing synthetic hemostatic agent with a noval dual mechanism of action. The hemopatch is a polyethylene glycol coated (PEG coated) collagen patch. The PEG coating helps in rapid adhesion to the tissue surface while the collagen layer causes platelet activation and adhesion. |
Device: Hemopatch
|
Active Comparator: Standard technique Standard hemostatic agents (floseal, tisseal). |
Device: No Hemopatch

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Blood Loss [Baseline (Intraoperatively)]
Blood loss will be measured in ml (cc).
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Hemostasis achievement [Baseline (Intraoperatively)]
Hemostasis achievement will be measured in minutes.
- Drop in Hemoglobin [up to 48 hours postoperatively]
Hemoglobin will be measured in g/L (drop measured from pre-operative levels to post-operative 48 hours).
- Amount of Perigraft Collection [up to 48 hours postoperative]
measured in ml (with ultrasound done within 48 hours of surgery).
