Inclusion Criteria: Pre-operative * Participant is scheduled to undergo an elective open, abdominal, retroperitoneal, pelvic, thoracic (non-cardiac) or extremity surgical procedure * Participant is willing and able to give written informed consent for the clinical investigation participation Intra-operative * Participant in whom the Investigator can identify and visualize a target bleeding site for which any applicable conventional means for hemostasis (e.g., suture, ligature, or cautery) are ineffective or impractical * Target Bleeding Site is identified to originate from soft tissue, defined as organ bed, loose areolar tissue, fat, lymphatic tissue/lymph node beds, and muscle * The choice is made to use a hemostatic agent to stop the bleeding, and there is the ability to apply pressure on the surface of the hemostatic agent to achieve hemostasis * Participant has a Target Bleeding Site with a SBSS score of 1, 2, or 3 (e.g., reflecting minimal, mild, or moderate bleeding severities) Exclusion Criteria: Pre-operative * Participant is scheduled for another planned surgery within the follow-up period and the subsequent surgery would jeopardize the ETHIZIA or SURGICEL Original application * Participant is taking multiple antithrombotic therapies in therapeutic dosage up to the time of surgery, but allowing exclusive use of acetylsalicylic acid * Participant has an active or suspected infection at the bleeding site * Participant is pregnant, planning on becoming pregnant, or actively breastfeeding during the 28-day follow-up period Intra-operative * Target bleeding site is identified to originate from parenchymal organ tissue, cardiovascular (anastomotic or cardiovascular repair sites) tissue, or is in proximity to a foramina in bone, or areas of bony confine * Target bleeding site is from a large defect in an artery or vein that requires vascular reconstruction with maintenance of vessel patency
