Purpose: Various forms of local haemostats are increasingly used routinely in surgical procedures. Our work is the first comparison of the efficacy and safety of non-regenerated and regenerated oxidized cellulose based fibrous haemostats. Methods: The haemostatic efficacy and safety of fibrous haemostats based on ONRC and ORC were compared in a randomized multicenter study. The primary endpoint was successful haemostasis within 3 minutes of application and no need for surgical revision within 12 hours after the procedure for recurrent bleeding. Results: There was a significant difference in the rate of successful haemostasis in 3 minutes that was achieved in 82% and 55% in the ONRC and ORC groups, respectively (confidence interval 99%; p = 0.009). Mean time to haemostasis was 133.9 ± 53.95 seconds and 178.0 ± 82.33 seconds, in the ONRC, and ORC group, respectively (p = 0.002). Revision surgery for re-bleeding was necessary in 0 (0%), and 1 (2%) of patients in the ONRC, and ORC group, respectively. No adverse events were reported. Conclusion: Fibrous haemostat based on ONRC was non-inferior compared to fibrous haemostat based on ORC when used in accordance with its intended purpose, and was safe and efficient.
