Sangustop

Sangustop is a **topical haemostatic agent** composed of **native absorbable collagen fibrils** designed for local haemostasis of capillary bleeding and bleeding in parenchymal organs, particularly during surgical procedures such as liver resection[1][7]. It does not contain any coagulation factors, blood serum products, or pharmaceutically active plasma components. Sangustop functions by providing a felt structure rich in surface area that facilitates the adhesion of blood platelets, thereby accelerating clot formation and haemostasis. Its mechanism is strictly physical—based on collagen-induced platelet aggregation—rather than pharmacological action. Sangustop is manufactured under the Aesculap brand, part of B. Braun, and is indicated for local haemostasis, especially in situations of diffuse oozing hemorrhage or as a supportive measure for other haemostatic techniques[1][2][3][4][5]. Preclinical and clinical studies have demonstrated rapid and reliable haemostatic efficacy, making it suitable in liver and other parenchymal organ surgeries[1][7].
