Biological Bioseal Fibrin Sealant

Other Standard of Care (SoC)

Bioseal Fibrin Sealant Experimental

A porcine-derived fibrin sealant consisting of thrombin and fibrinogen

Standard of Care (SoC) Other

Standard of Care (SoC) include any active or inactive adjunctive treatment to hemostasis methods currently used based on each surgeons surgical practice except for the use of other fibrin sealants.

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

Subjects between 18 and 75 years of age
Undergoing elective meningioma surgery and having a tumor cavity
Presence of an appropriate Target Bleeding Site (TBS) as identified intra-operatively by the surgeon requiring an adjunct to achieve hemostasis
Able and willing to comply with procedures required by protocol
Signed and dated written informed consent prior to any study related procedures.

Exclusion Criteria:

Subjects undergoing emergency surgery
Subjects with any intra-operative findings that may preclude conducting of the study procedures
Intended use of Fibrin Sealants (including autologous Fibrin Sealants) other than Bioseal on the Target Bleeding Site (TBS)
Subjects with known intolerance to blood products or to one of the components of the study product or unwilling to receive blood products
Subjects who have a history of traumatic head injury
Female subjects who are known breastfeeding or pregnant or intend to become pregnant during the clinical study period
The subject, in the opinion of the investigator, would not be suitable for participation in the study
Subjects who participated in another trial within 30 days prior to the planned start of treatment.
