At first the 41% seems underwhelming, but when you consider that it was actually 41% better than the best other bleeding control methods (standard therapy) available, it's actually very impressive not even accounting for AC5's ability to work with patients receiving blood thinners.

"Bleeding during skin surgery
Risk factors for excessive bleeding include:

Blood clotting abnormalities: low platelet count, low clotting factors (as occurs in liver failure), haemophilia, von Willebrand disease
Medications: aspirin, clopidogrel, warfarin, dipyridamole, heparin, dabigatran
Over-the-counter preparations: fish oil, garlic, ginko, ginseng, vitamin E, Dong quai, feverfew, resveratrol
Surgical site: forehead, scalp and eyelids often bruise more than other sites.
A small amount of bleeding and bruising can be expected. Your surgeon will try to minimise this as much as possible during the procedure by either clotting small vessels using electrosurgery (cautery) or tying off bleeding vessels with a stitch / suture.

" On a randomized basis, one lesion received AC5 and the other(s) received a control treatment consisting of standard therapy plus a sham.
