Optimising Haemostat Use
Surgical bleeding can adversely affect patient outcomes, hospital costs and resources.1–7
Compared to primary methods of haemostasis alone, optimal use of adjunctive haemostats have been associated with improved patient outcomes and reduced use of hospital resources.8–19

Haemostasis Optimisation Program
Haemostasis Optimisation Program (HOP) is designed to improve utilisation of adjunctive haemostats through a systematic approach. It provides guidance on selecting an appropriate adjunctive haemostat for a particular bleeding site and situation.

An Evidence-based Approach to Surgical Bleeding
HOP is based on a large-scale quantitative study on the optimal use of adjunctive haemostats. The study, initiated by Ethicon, involved 11 specialties, 450 surgeons and 7,864 bleeding occasions.16

Your partner in patient care
The Hemostasis Optimisation Program simplifies the identification of the optimal adjunctive haemostat for each bleeding situation by:

Real-world Benefits
HOP demonstrated in a real-world setting that it can help hospitals achieve substantial cost savings by shifting to a more cost-effective use of haemostats — without sacrificing effectiveness or affecting patient outcomes.*16
*Results may vary by specific adjunctive haemostat used. Data based on a US dataset and monetary calculations are in US dollars.
