CHMP recommends Evarrest Sealant Matrix (Omrix Biopharm) for improvement of Haemostasis
On 27 June 2013, the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) adopted a positive opinion, recommending the granting of a marketing authorisation for the medicinal product Evarrest Sealant Matrix to Omrix Biopharmaceuticals NV/Ehticom Biosurgery. This recommendation will now be forwarded to the European Commission, which will issue a legally binding decision. The indication recommended by the CHMP is as follows: �EVARREST is indicated in adults for supportive treatment in surgery where standard surgical techniques are insufficient, for improvement of haemostasis�. EVARREST should only be prescribed by experienced surgeons.
