Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if the agent, Floseal, can decrease the amount of blood patients lose after total knee replacement (TKR) surgery. If this product can be found to have an effect on bleeding, it may potentially reduce the problems associated with bleeding after knee replacement surgery such as pain, stiffness, and the need to have a blood transfusion. The subject's overall participation will be over a period of 6 weeks.
