1. Apply Floseal directly to the site of bleeding, allowing it to conform to the shape of the wound
2. Apply Floseal at a faster rate than the bleeding to prevent product from being washed away due to brisk bleeding
3. Keep Floseal at the site of bleeding using a damp swab and gentle approximation
4. Wait 2 minutes before inspection (brisk bleeding/coagulopathic patients may require longer).
In cases of persistent bleeding, reapply Floseal through existing material to ensure newly applied Floseal reaches the bleeding site itself
5. Once haemostasis is achieved, gently irrigate away excess granules not incorporated into the clot
6. Floseal is reabsorbed by the body within 6 – 8 weeks, consistent with normal wound healing
