3-D Matrix is pleased to announce that a new prospective observational study (POPS) has started in **Kuwait** with the aim to collect data on [**PuraStat**](https://3dmatrix.com/products/purastat/) in managing intraprocedural bleeds, reducing delayed bleeding and its application in high-risk resections, radiation proctopathy and peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEMS).  

The study, with ethics approval in Kuwait, currently includes **3 hospitals** and **80 patients**, with the goal of enrolling 300 patients across the Middle East.  

PuraStat has already been shown to be **effective and safe** in managing intraprocedural bleeding and in preventing the reduction of delayed bleeding after colonic ESD (Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection). It is indicated for **haemostasis **in the following situations encountered during surgery when haemostasis by ligation or standard means is insufficient or impractical1:

- Bleeding from small blood vessels and oozing from capillaries of the parenchyma and surrounding tissues of solid organs.  
- Oozing from vascular anastomoses to native or artificial vessels, on the surface of blood vessels and surrounding tissues.  
- Bleeding from small vessels and oozing from capillaries of the GI tract and surrounding tissues. 
- In the reduction of delayed bleeding following gastrointestinal endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) procedures in the colon. 

PuraStat comes in a **prefilled and ready-to-use syringe**, in the form of a **transparent gel**. In gastrointestinal (GI) procedures can be applied with an endoscopic catheter and, once in contact with bodily fluids such as blood, is able to achieve haemostasis by creating a **three-dimensional barrier**, similar to the human extracellular matrix, which forms a mechanical barrier and stops the bleeding.
