This publication was lead by wound care experts from The Wound Treatment Center, LLC at Opelousas General Health in Lafayette, LA . It demonstrates the effectiveness of OMNI-STAT in achieving hemostasis while also saving time, thus offering potential for increased cost-effectiveness, relative to electrocautery.

Study Design

A prospective evaluation of OMNI-STAT was conducted in the OR (52 patients) to compare the effectiveness of OMNI-STAT Granules vs the retrospective use of electrocautery (89 patients) for bleeding control in patients undergoing surgical wound debridement.

Results

OMNI-STAT was shown to be as effective as electrocautery in achieving hemostasis. Significant time savings in the OR was also found, reducing mean total OR time by 19.1%. The results also showed that wounds treated with OMNI-STAT demonstrated a more advanced stage of healing, which may be a result of the lack of tissue damage seen relative to electrocautery. The study concluded that the improved OR times may translate into increased cost effectiveness, relative to electrocautery, by increasing the number of surgical cases per day and/or using resources more effectively to treat a greater number of patients. It may also allow for bleeding control in an outpatient clinic or bedside, which could free up OR time and enable more effective management of healthcare resources.
