Corza Medical acquired TachoSil in January 2021 from Takeda, who previously had Baxter Healthcare distribute TachoSil exclusively in the U.S. market. Corza Medical ended the agreement effective March 31, 2023. The first shipment of U.S. labeled TachoSil was delivered to customers on April 14, 2023.

TachoSil is a fibrin sealant patch that assists in managing mild to moderate surgical bleeds during cardiovascular and hepatic procedures. TachoSil combines the bioactive mechanism of action of human fibrinogen and thrombin for hemostasis with the mechanical support of a closed-cell collagen matrix that becomes pliable as well as air and liquid tight.
