  • Ethicon, a part of J&J, received expanded FDA indication for its EVARREST Fibrin Sealant Patch to be used to help control bleeding during adult liver surgeries. The device is bioabsorbable and contains human thrombin and fibinogen proteins that participate in clot formation. It retains its strength and stickiness while it’s still around. EVARREST is a novel convergence of biologics and medical device that rapidly and reliably stops problematic bleeding during surgery on the first attempt in indicated patients. EVARREST is a fibrin sealant patch indicated for use with manual compression as an adjunct to hemostasis . The unmatched mechanism of action behind EVARREST drives rapid and durable clot formation. The technology is comprised of a flexible composite patch, which contains embedded human biologics (human thrombin and fibrinogen), which are proteins involved in the natural clotting process.
