Equipment designed for the delivery of hemostatic agents (e.g., autologous fibrin sealant, and/or platelet rich fibrin) usually during surgery. These systems typically consist of a an automated unit that delivers the hemostatic agent; a control to regulate the quantity and flow of the delivery; a display that shows the status of the delivery and the remaining volume of the hemostatic; and a disposable set. The set may include a preparation kit and a detachable delivery applicator according to the intended target tissue (e.g., topical, intracavitary). Some units can deliver other medications simultaneously with the hemostatic agents (e.g., antibiotics, pain medications). Hemostatic agent delivery units may work independently or combined with patient\'s blood processors.
