Hospital efficiency starts in the operating room.

Reducing the length of hospital stay, associated with fewer complications when using TachoSil®

When surgical
complexity rises,
efficiency matters.

Europe’s ageing population is driving an increase in both the demand for surgery and complexity of procedures.1 As hospital reimbursement per case remains fixed, achieving better outcomes with existing resources has become essential.

TachoSil supports reliable hemostasis2-4 and tissue sealing,5-6 helping reduce variability linked to postoperative complications.

By minimizing complications, TachoSil may help reduce hospital stays by up to 11.8 days,2-3,7 supporting hospital efficiency and helping reduce surgical costs in an increasingly demanding healthcare environment.

Reduction of complications reduces surgical costs.

Loss of efficiency due to complications.

Complications erode efficiency, extending hospital stays and consuming hospital capacity8. The occurrence of complications increase the cost by a factor of 2-4.9 The result is a deficit.

Reducing costs by reducing complications.

Avoiding complications reduces the length of hospital stay and lowers costs within the flat rate per case.2-3

TachoSil – reducing complications to protect hospital performance.

When standard techniques are insufficient, TachoSil supports reliable hemostasis2-4 and tissue sealing5-6. By helping surgeons control bleeding and leakage quickly, it reduces complication-related variability and supports shorter hospital stays2-3,7.

Shorter hospital stays from 0.5 to 11.8 days2-3. Proven with TachoSil.

Clinical evidence across multiple surgical indications shows significant reductions in hospital stay when TachoSil is used.

2.4

days shorter stay for urology procedures5

2.7

days shorter stay for cardio surgery10

3.0

days shorter stay for liver surgery4

1.3 – 1.6

days shorter stay for thoracic surgery11-12

Reduction in postoperative complications.

The rapid and safe reduction of clinical complications such as prolonged air leaks, urine leakage, lymphoceles, or even bleeding7,13,14 can enable earlier discharge of patients10,14-17 and minimize re-interventions.
