How much FastAct is needed for a surgery?
FastAct is intended to come in contact with patients by being applied to the outside surface of the bleeding site. The amount of FastAct needed will vary with the surface area of the bleed / the type of surgery. Most surgeries require 1 ml of less, and major surgeries such as heart transplant or liver resection, may only use 2 ml. One ml contains 15-20 drops (1 drop of water is 0,05 ml, the FastAct liquid is a bit thicker). Each drop can cover a surface with a diameter of 3-5 cm. EXAMPLE: a small amount of FastAct goes a long way. An incision of 10 cm long and 1 cm deep may only take 0.2 – 0.4 ml of FastAct to stop all the bleeding.
