About this study

A prospective randomized open-label study that will evaluate the effectiveness of the pliable and absorbable bone hemostats (BoneSeal®) on the reduction of bleeding from the sternal bone marrow in patients undergoing cardiothoracic surgery.

Read the detailed description

A prospective randomized open-label study that will evaluate the effectiveness of the pliable and absorbable bone hemostats (BoneSeal®) composed of synthetic materials and hydroxyapatite on the reduction of bleeding from the sternal bone marrow in patients undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting, with or without valve replacement or repair. This product will be compared to the similar, currently used product, Ostene®. Bleeding will be evaluated qualitatively by the surgeon as well as quantitatively by comparing pre- and post-operative hemoglobin levels, intra-operative and post-operative blood product usage, and post-operative chest tube output. A 30 day follow-up will be conducted to evaluate the patient's tolerance of the product, possible complications, or infection. Additionally, surgeons will be asked to comment on the ease of use of the product.

Being tested
BoneSeal, Ostene

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • BoneSealDevice

    BoneSeal® is an absorbable synthetic bone hemostats that also contains of PLA, PEG and hydroxyapatite which supports bone re-growth. Product code MTJ. FDA number K142348.

  • OsteneDevice

    OSTENE is a synthetic, biodissolvable implant material that, provides immediate bone hemostasis, can be used on all bleeding bone surfaces, is completely biocompatible and water-soluble polymer, is a mechanical barrier that does not act biochemically.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Ease of Use

    Qualitative determination of product application and hemostatic qualities graded by the surgeon using a scale from 1-5 with 1 being very easy and 5 being very difficult

    Measured: The time frame for assessing the ease of product application is the short interval a the conclusion of the operation when we are applying the topical hemostatic agent to the sternal bone marrow. In other words at the end of the case, this takes <10 min.

  2. Number of Participants Experiencing Re-bleed

    Occurrence of re-bleeding during the operation will be noted. Reapplication of product will not occur.

    Measured: 0-3 hours

  3. Hemoglobin

    Postoperative hemoglobin as compared to baseline preoperative readings

    Measured: Pre-operative (baseline) and Post-operative (3-6 hours after baseline)

  4. Intra-operative Blood Units

    Units of blood/blood products transfused during surgery

    Measured: 0-3 hours

  5. Surgical Site Drainage

    Post-operative chest tube output

    Measured: 6, 12, 18 and 24 hours

  6. Number of Participants With Post Operative Complications Related to the Device

    Sternal wound infection or other complications related to the device or its use within 30 days post procedure

    Measured: 30 days

  7. Number of Participants Requiring Use of Another Product During Surgery

    The surgeon's determination and need for the use of another product (FloSeal) during surgery to stop bleeding or re-bleed at the sternum.

    Measured: During surgery, up to 3 hours

  8. End of Surgery Bleeding

    Qualitative determination of of the amount of bleeding at the sternum at the end of surgery by the surgeon using a scale from 1-5 with 1 none and 5 being perfuse

    Measured: End of surgery (closure of the chest)

  9. Post-operative Blood Units

    Units of blood/blood products transfused within 24 hours post surgery

    Measured: 3-24 hours

  10. Number of Participants With Infection

    The presence of an infection at the sternum at any time up to 30 days post surgery.

    Measured: 30 days

What does the primary outcome measure?

Ease of Use (time frame: The time frame for assessing the ease of product application is the short interval a the conclusion of the operation when we are applying the topical hemostatic agent to the sternal bone marrow. In other words at the end of the case, this takes <10 min.). The study lists 10 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03085017, which also lists 13 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
