* Any indication that the restrictions or procedures of the study may not be adhered to (e.g. an uncooperative attitude)
* Any indication that the study restrictions, procedures, or consequences therein have not been considered or understood, such that informed consent cannot be convincingly given

C: Inclusion Criteria:

* Pre-operative (at Baseline Assessments Visit) hemoglobin (Hgb) ≥9.0 g/dL (deciliter)
* Pre-operative (at Baseline Assessments Visit) fibrinogen level ≥150 mg/dL (functional method).
* Required one of the following procedures:

  1. An elective (non-emergency), open (non-laparoscopic; non- endovascular) surgical procedure involving a native artery-graft end-to-side proximal anastomosis utilizing coated or uncoated polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) graft (IG1202-A).
  2. An elective (non-emergency), open (non-laparoscopic) hepatic resection (anatomic and non-anatomic resections of at least one anatomical hepatic segment or equivalent tissue volume) (IG-1202-B).
  3. An elective (non-emergency), open (non-laparoscopic), surgical procedure involving soft (non-parenchymous) tissue (IG1202-C).
  4. An elective (non-emergency), spinal surgical procedure in which the epidural venous plexus was exposed (IG1202-D).
* A target bleeding site (TBS) was identified according to the Investigator's judgment, and the TBS had mild or moderate bleeding according to the Investigator's judgment.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Required surgical procedure due to trauma (except for spinal surgery).
* Infection in the anatomic surgical area.
* History of severe (e.g. anaphylactic) reactions to blood or to any blood-derived (human or animal) product.
* Previous known sensitivity to any Topical Thrombin (Human) Grifols component, any Bovine Thrombin JMI component, porcine collagen, and heparin or protamine (vascular surgery only) component.
* Received an organ transplant.
* Underwent another concurrent major surgical intervention beyond the liver (applied to hepatic surgery \[IG1202-B\] only; concurrent interventions on the pancreas, gall bladder, bile duct, or intestines were allowed).
* Underwent a re-operative procedure, which was defined as a second, or successive, surgical procedure on the same anatomic location.
* Underwent other vascular procedures during the same surgical session (applied to vascular surgery \[IG1202-A\] only; stenting and/or endarterectomy of the same artery were allowed).
* Underwent a therapeutic surgical procedure within 30 days from screening (diagnostic procedures were allowed).
* Previously included in this trial (i.e. each subject could only be enrolled once in this study).
* TBS could not be identified according to the investigator's judgment.
* TBS had a severe bleeding according to the Investigator's judgment.
* Occurrence of major intra-operative complications that required resuscitation or deviation from the planned surgical procedure.
* Application of any topical haemostatic material on the resection surface of the liver prior to application of the study treatment (applied to hepatic surgery \[IG1202-B\] only).
* Radiofrequency precoagulation of the liver resection surface, except focal use of radiofrequency as primary haemostatic treatment (applied to hepatic surgery \[IG1202-B\] only).
* Intra-operative change in planned surgical procedure which resulted in subject no longer meeting preoperative inclusion and/or exclusion criteria.
* Application of any topical haemostatic material on the cut soft tissue surface prior to application of the study treatment (applied to soft tissue surgery \[IG1202-C\] only).
