Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Cessation of bleeding after a 30 minutes [ Time Frame: 30 minutes ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    The primary endpoint is a cessation of bleeding after a 30 minute period. Evaluation of bleeding will be performed by an independent evaluator, who will determine if the bleeding has stopped.


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Safety composite endpoint [ Time Frame: 7 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

    Rate of the safety composite (any of the following):

    1. Anaphylaxis or allergic reaction
    2. Recurrent Hospitalization
    3. Serious adverse events
    4. Need for the repeated surgical intervention
    5. Need for blood products transfusion
    6. Local Infection In addition individual rates of the components will be reported

  • Device Success [ Time Frame: 6 hours ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Device success defined as a cessation of bleeding at 6 hours using only the allocated device.

  • Procedural success [ Time Frame: 6 hours ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Procedural success defined as a cessation of bleeding at 6 hours.
