HEMORRHAGE DOES NOT DISCRIMINATE
Unmet Need
Despite improvements in care, hemorrhage significantly increases the mortality risk for patients.
Hemorrhage
Hemorrhage is a Leading Cause of Preventable Death1
#1
Trauma is the leading cause of
death in adults <45 years old2
~40%
Of trauma deaths are from
hemorrhage2

Hemorrhage increases mortality in:

Cardiac Surgery6
Childbirth7

Fibrinogen decreases rapidly and significantly in hemorrhage5,11
Fibrinogen level in the low 200’s is an independent risk factor for severe hemorrhage in post-partum hemorrhage,12 cardiac surgery,13 and trauma.14
INTERCEPT® Fibrinogen Complex
INTERCEPT Fibrinogen Complex is now available for control of bleeding, including massive hemorrhage, associated with fibrinogen deficiency.

INTERCEPT Fibrinogen Complex: Ready When You Are.
INTERCEPT Fibrinogen Complex is a pathogen reduced, fibrinogen enriched, blood component for transfusion providing you with an immediate source of key factors known to be important in effective hemostasis.
Pathogen Reduction: Be Ready.
Reduce the risk of transfusion transmitted infections by using blood products treated with the INTERCEPT Blood System Pathogen Reduction System.
Clot Generation
Successfully regaining hemostasis during hemorrhage requires a complex balance of factors involved in clot initiation and construction.
