Summary

The purpose of the research is to determine if RADA16 (also known as PuraStat®, PuraGel®, or PuraSinus®) improves patient outcomes following pediatric tonsillectomy procedures. Researchers will compare application of device RADA16 to application of no device to see if RADA16 works to treat post tonsillectomy hemorrhage.Participants will:

Undergo tonsillectomy procedure. Receive and fill out a survey sent via email every 2 days following their procedure for 15 days, plus an additional survey on day 30, and track their symptoms.

Conditions

  • Postoperative Pain

Interventions

DEVICE

RADA16 hydrogel

Application of 2.5% RADA16 hydrogel to the tonsillar fossae following tonsillectomy using a sterile syringe tip applicator. The gel will be spread into a thin layer within the tonsillar fossae. The gel will be left to sit for 60 seconds. A suction device will then be used to remove any excess RADA16 hydrogel, leaving a thin layer of RADA16 over the tonsillar fossae.
