The use of TachoSil is restricted to experienced surgeons.
TachoSil should not be used intravascularly (see Contraindications). For more information on situations where TachoSil should not be used, see Precautions.
The number of TachoSil sponges to be applied should always be determined by the underlying clinical need for the patient. The number of TachoSil sponges to be applied vary and should be appropriate to the size of the wound area.
Application of TachoSil must be patient-specific and accordingly determined by the treating surgeon. In clinical trials, the individual dosages have typically ranged from 1 to 2 sponges (9.5 cm x 4.8 cm), however application of up to 7 sponges has been reported. For smaller wounds, e.g. in minimal invasive surgery, the smaller sized sponges (4.8 cm x 4.8 cm or 3.0 cm x 2.5 cm) are recommended.
