Control of Bleeding During Dermabrasion

Abstract

Dermabrasion may be complicated by excessive bleeding during the procedure. Adrenosem salicylate has been used to control capillary oozing in various other surgical procedures. In a double-blind stidy of ten patients undergoing dermabrasion, Adrenosem salicylate was found to reduce capillary oozing during the procedure to a worthwhile degree. No untowards effects were encountered.
