Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Purpose: This study is a prospective clinical trial to investigate the efficacy of a chitosan-coated nasal packing (ChitoFlex® used in conjunction with the HemCon Nasal Plug) in the management of difficult spontaneous epistaxis and to evaluate its healing effect on nasal mucosa. The introduction of products that enhances hemostasis can have clinical advantages when associated with traditional nasal packing. These advantages include a better hemostatic control and the reduction of nasal packing duration. Furthermore, this study will help determine if there are any non-desirable effects that chitosan may have on the nasal cavity, such as the production of fibrosis and foreign body reaction.
