ROLE OF BOTROCLOT AS A LOCAL HAEMOSTATIC AGENT DURING FLAP SURGERY

Abstract

Botroclot is an enzyme complex. It has coagluative and antihemorrhagic properties. This prospective study compared two surgical sites in each subject. One site received topical botroclot while other site did not receive it. Both the sites were chosen in the same patient & flap surgery was done at separate intervals. Haemostasis during flap surgery was achieved by pressure pack technique on control side & on test side botroclot was applied & time measurement was done. It has been concluded from this study botroclot not only helps in achieving haemostasis but also helps in faster healing of the surgical site by rapid formation of healthy tissue & reducing the amount of infection which may alter the normal healing process.
