The development of this product resulted from controlled in vitro thrombogenic analysis of an array of potentially hemostatic textile materials and it has been cleared for both external and internal use by the United States Food and Drug Administration for the arrest of hemorrhage. The goal of the study was to assess the hemostatic and adhesive properties of Stasilon in the setting of lifethreatening refractory hemorrhage. Case presentation A 39-year-old Caucasian man presented with severe necrotic pancreatitis that failed multiple aggressive attempts to control associated bleeding with electrocautery suture ligation and sequential anatomic packing with cotton-based sponges. Subsequent retroperitoneal packing with Stasilon produced a non-adherent wound-dressing interface and resulted in the achievement of persistent hemostasis in the operative field. Conclusion In our patient Stasilon was demonstrated to be effective in the arrest of refractory hemorrhage. Introduction Uncontrolled hemorrhage is a major contributor to both trauma-associated and intra-operative morbidity and mortality 1 2 . Achieving hemostasis is crucial in avoiding distributive shock and interrupting the progressive physiologic compromise that is often marked by dilu-tional coagulopathy metabolic acidemia and the sequelae of microcirculatory malperfusion 3 4 . Cotton-fiberbased dressings have traditionally been used liberally in wound management but the minimally thrombogenic nature of .
