Cryoseal thermogenesis (R), fibrin sealant reduces blood loss and pain in the knee arthroplasty (TKA) Study
TKA over 1,300,000 procedures are performed each year - Thermogenesis Corporation (Nasdaq: KOOL) announced today that Dr. Erhan BASAD (orthopedist) and Dr. Detlef Kuhn (anesthesiologist) the use of mastic CryoSeal autologous fibrin in TKA studied at the University Hospital Giessen, Germany. The results of the study were published in December 2004 the German orthopedic journal Praxis. According to Dr.cardiovascular stability, pain intensity, mobility, and wound healing. The total blood loss in TKA was reduced by 50% if CryoSeal fibrin sealant (control group blood loss was 526 ml compared to 1.033 ml for the study group). CryoSeal patients had a better cardiovascular stability, greater mobility, less pain and better healing than the control group. Dr. basado observed which
provides a larger study to confirm the positive results of the pilot study.We are very pleased with the results Basads and Dr. Dr. Di Pietro, said Philip Coelho, CEO of Thermogenesis Corp. There are annually more than 1.3 million knee replacements worldwide (339,400 in the United States, 809,700 in Europe and 224,800 in Asia), according to Frost Sullivan 2004 report on orthopedic surgery. These are actions that result in significant bleeding and most patients prior to donating blood - which makes them ideal for CryoSeal system that can prepare up to 16 ml of fibrin glue in a patients blood drive.
Results concluded Mr. Coelho. The Regulatory Status CryoSeal FS System has received CE-approved by the EU authorities and is being tested in clinical trials in Europe. Other
field trials in Canada and Brazil. In Japan, clinical trials were conducted by Asahi Medical, the Japanese retailer, which plans to submit the LDCs in the near future.(8) clinical sites.
