Haemacure halts trials for biological glue

Article Abstract:

Haemacure Corp of Montreal, Quebec, has halted a Phase III clinical trial of its Hemaseel HMN fibrin sealant in total knee replacement surgery. The company said the biological glue failed to arrest blood loss significantly during knee surgery, and that the market potential of the product application did not merit continued testing. The company, however, said it will continue testing the product for other applications, notably heart surgery.
