Indication

EVITHROM^® is a topical thrombin indicated as an aid to hemostasis whenever oozing blood and minor bleeding from capillaries and small venules is accessible and control of bleeding by standard surgical techniques (such as suture, ligature or cautery) is ineffective or impractical. EVITHROM^® may be used in conjunction with an Absorbable Gelatin Sponge, USP.²

Important Safety Information

For topical use only. Do not inject EVITHROM^® directly into the circulatory system.

Do not use for the treatment of severe or brisk arterial bleeding.

Do not use in individuals known to have anaphylactic or severe systemic reaction to human blood products.

Because this product is made from human plasma, it may carry a risk of transmitting infectious agents, such as viruses, and theoretically, the Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) agent.

There is a potential risk of thrombosis if absorbed systemically.²

Anaphylactic reactions may occur.

The most common adverse reactions during clinical trial (reported in at least 2% of subjects treated with EVITHROM^®) were prolonged activated partial thromboplastin time, increased INR, decreased lymphocyte count, prolonged prothrombin time and increased neutrophil count. Adverse events were reported in the clinical trial with similar frequency in the two study groups (EVITHROM^® or bovine thrombin group) ²
