Abstract
The newly developed cotton pad is made of 100% cotton; only the contact surface is coated with polyurethane film. The coated side contains many perforations, so aspiration through the cotton pad is possible from both sides. We used the newly developed cotton pad together with a polyglycolic acid sheet soaked with fibrin glue to control the bleeding from a sutured carotid artery during a carotid endarterectomy (CEA). The newly developed cotton pad could be removed from the hemostat and vessels without difficulty, and no rebleeding was observed after compression by hand for 5 minutes. The polyurethane-coated cotton pad may be useful for controlling the bleeding from a sutured carotid artery during CEA.
