Overview

TachoSil is a sponge sealant patch used in adults and children from 1 month of age:

  • during an operation, to stop bleeding and seal the surfaces of internal organs;
  • as a support to stitching during surgery on blood vessels when standard techniques are not sufficient.

TachoSil is also used in adults during neurological surgery to seal the dura mater (a membrane that surrounds and protects the brain) to prevent leakage of the fluid surrounding the brain (called cerebrospinal fluid or CSF).

The TachoSil patch is coated with the active substances human fibrinogen and human thrombin.
