PerStat Medical Systems, Inc. is proud to announce a new Autologous
physiologic glue, which will assist the surgeon to …
 Gain hemostasis
 Seal wound surfaces
 Potentially increase rate of wound healing
Platelet Gel:

periods, after frank blood loss ceases
 Cryoprecipitate and fibrin glue is costly, difficult to obtain, and may
be a source of HIV transmission
This autologous procedure …
 Is safe:

No opportunity for clerical error

No need for predonation

No fear of viral transmission
(HIV), hepatitis, etc.)
 Is reliable and immediately available:

Rapid setup time
(needs an IV of 16 Ga or larger)

Rapid processing time
 Is efficacious:

Healing time improved due to control of bleeding and
potential of increased wound healing rate

Is performed once the patient is under anesthesia on the
OR table

Takes only a few minutes to prepare approximately 100 cc
of platelet gel (glue)

Can be used in conjunction with perfusion, or
autotransfusion procedures, improving cost reduction
