Pig-Skin gel takes on surgical bleeding in 324-Patient trial
NCT ID NCT07830797
First seen Sep 21, 2026 · Last updated Sep 21, 2026
Summary
Researchers are testing an absorbable fluid gelatin made from pig skin to see if it stops bleeding during surgery as well as an existing product called SURGIFLO. The trial enrolls 324 adults scheduled for general, orthopedic, or gynecological operations. Surgeons apply the gelatin to a bleeding site and cover it with moist gauze, then measure how many sites stop bleeding within 5 minutes.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- an absorbable hemostatic fluid gelatin made from pig skin
- What this could lead to
- If it works as well as the existing product, surgeons could have another option for controlling bleeding during operations.
- What could go wrong
- The trial may show the new gelatin is less effective than SURGIFLO, or it may cause reactions in people allergic to pig products. Results from this controlled setting may not apply to all types of surgery.
