Abstract
Hematoma and infection are the greatest enemies of a plastic surgeon. Various hemostatic agents are used in surgery. From application of direct pressure, use of tourniquets, ligatures, electro cautery, laser coagulation medical science is now exploring the use of various topical hemostatic agents. Here we share our experience with the use of micro porous polysaccharide hemospheres for hemostasis of split thickness graft donor site in 6 patients.
