| Abstract: | Severe and even fatal hemorrhage may be caused by bleeding through the interstices of a fabric graft. Improved fabrication of grafts with appropriate porosity for the conditions encountered has provided better hemostasis. Yet in some situations, bleeding through the fabric still presents a problem. A method of preclotting with autologous platelet rich plasma (PRP) and autoclaving is described. Gross and microscopic studies along with clinical applications confirm the effectiveness of the technique. |
