Hemopatch is an alternative to reduce morbidity associated with axillary lymphadenectomy surgery, possibly contributing to improved patient management, clinical outcomes, and hospital costs. We propose a multicenter, controlled, and randomized trial to study the efficacy of Hemopatch in reducing serous wound drainage.

HEMOPATCH Sealing Hemostat ("HEMOPATCH") consists of a soft, thin, pliable, flexible pad of collagen derived from bovine dermis, coated with NHS-PEG (pentaerythritol polyethylene glycol ether tetra-succinimidyl glutarate). Due to its flexible structure, the application of HEMOPATCH to the site where hemostasis / sealing is desired is easily controlled. For differentiation, the non-coated side is marked with blue squares using a biocompatible colorant. HEMOPATCH is supplied in the following 3 sizes: * HEMOPATCH 27 x 27 mm * HEMOPATCH 45 x 45 mm * HEMOPATCH 45 x 90 mm
No sealant (liquid, gel or patch) + suction drain
