Standard of Care (SoC)
Standard of Care (SoC) include any active or inactive adjunctive treatment to hemostasis methods currently used based on each surgeons surgical practice except for the use of other fibrin sealants.

Other: Standard of Care (SoC) |
Experimental: Bioseal Fibrin Sealant
A porcine-derived fibrin sealant consisting of thrombin and fibrinogen

Biological: Bioseal Fibrin Sealant |
- Hemostasis at the Target Bleeding Site (TBS) at 6 Minutes Following Treatment Application. Hemostasis is Defined as no Detectable Bleeding at the TBS. [ Time Frame: Intra-operative, 6 minutes following randomization ]The percentage of participants with hemostasis at the Target Bleeding Site (TBS) at 6 minutes following start of treatment application. Hemostasis is defined as no detectable bleeding at the TBS.
- Hemostasis at the TBS at 3 Minutes Following Treatment Application [ Time Frame: Intra-operative, 3 minutes following randomization ]The percentage of participants with hemostasis at the Target Bleeding Site (TBS) at 3 minutes following start of treatment application. Hemostasis was defined as no detectable bleeding at the TBS.
- Incidence of Neurosurgical Complications, Central Nervous System Events and Surgical Wound Complications. [ Time Frame: Through 30-day follow-up ]
- Incidence of Potential Bleeding-related Adverse Events [ Time Frame: Through 30-day follow-up ]
