- Abstract:
- With infrared contact coagulation (ICC) hemostasis of hepatic and splenic tissue is achieved by coagulation and mechanic compression of the bleeding surface. Thus, an eventual loss of energy due to a thick layer of blood can be avoided. After coagulation, the anti-adhesive effect of the cap of the ICC device prevents fresh bleeding. After experimental incisions on liver and spleen of various animal species hemostasis could be achieved quickly by application of ICC. Postoperative observation and histologic investigations were carried out until the 80th postoperative day. Hemostasis was observed in all cases, there were no signs of recidivant bleeding at relaparotomy. A slow absorption f necrotic tissue was observed. This could be a disadvantage regarding long term wound healing.
