Non-compressible intra-abdominal hemorrhage results in significant morbidity and mortality in contemporary trauma medicine. Regrettably, many deaths from non-compressible hemorrhage are attributable to potentially survivable injuries. A self-expanding polyurethane foam has been developed for rapid, percutaneous damage control of exsanguinating abdominal hemorrhage, for patients not expected to survive to definitive surgical care. Foam intervention creates a temporary, commensal, hemostatic environment within the abdominal cavity. This tropism away from exsanguination physiology creates a hemostatic bridge such that the patient may reach definitive surgical intervention. This review article summarizes the existing literature characterizing the safety and efficacy of this intervention, along with a study in recently deceased patients that enables dose translation from animal models to human beings.
