Core Tip	This study shows that PuraStat® is safe, effective and easy to use as hemostatic agent in multiple gastrointestinal bleeding sources, including in lesions responsible for upper gastrointestinal bleeding. This is significant because many times, the endoscopy standard of care treatment, such as sclerosant agents, hemoclips or soft coagulation forceps are not fully available or cannot be applied due to the lesions are placed in difficult positions, or there is an underlying fibrosis of a diffuse bleeding.
