To Evaluate the Efficacy of Feracrylum as a Haemostatic Agent following Minor Oral Surgery

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the versatility of Feracrylum as a haemostatic agent following minor oral surgeries, without altering the regimen of an anti-platelet drug. Method: The post-operative bleeding was assessed in 100 patients on anti-platelet drug following minor oral surgical procedure by comparing the Feracrylum group with the saline-soaked gauze as pressure pack. Result: In group 1, 100% patients and in group 2, 18% patients had ooze from the surgical site after 2 minutes and 5 minutes with the p-value of 0.012. The bleeding was significant in group 1 at 24 th hr., 2 nd and 3 rd post-operative day with the p-value of 0.01 and 0.135, though no noticeable bleeding was detected in group 2 respectively. Conclusion: Introduction of Feracrylum is alchemy in oral and maxillofacial surgery to restrict the local bleeding following minor surgery in the oral cavity for those patients who are on antiplatelet drug with least systemic circulation absorption.
