FastAct® Piles Surgery Video
In the piles surgery video that you will view here, with street noise of the city in the background, two physicians in India banter about waiting the proscribed 60 seconds for FastAct® to properly affect the dramatic arterial bleed spurting blood six or eight inches from their hemorrhoid procedure.
This is the first time these physicians have used FastAct®. They do wait the appropriate 60 seconds minimum for the fibrinogen strands to crosslink undisturbed. Though nonetheless dramatic evidence of FastAct®’s power to stop bleeding, there are two flaws in their technique for arterial bleeds.
First, it is important to apply FastAct® at the source of the bleed. By applying FastAct® drops to the blood pooled just below the bleed, coagulation is slowed and the clot is not as strong as if suctioning or dabbing with gauze had removed the pooled blood just prior to FastAct® application. Thus, several efforts were required to fully arrest the arterial hemorrhage.
Second, testing has confirmed that rapid drops on an arterial bleed, at the rate of at least one per second, causes a concentric cascading clot that quickly and reliably closes off an arterial hemorrhage (See lumbar surgery video clip.). Bleeding would thus have been arrested in less than ten seconds.
When the blood color changes to bright red, coagulation has occurred. The drops can stop and FastAct®is not wasted on a clot that has already been established. Then, simply wait the proscribed 60 seconds minimum without disturbing the clot, as the Indian doctors understood and did. The longer, the better. Undisturbed, the fibrinogen strands will crosslink properly and reliably form a strong seal.
