SURGICEL Original Hemostat 1953
The SURGICEL Original Hemostat is a sterile, absorbable surgical dressing made from oxidized regenerated cellulose. It is designed to control capillary, venous, and small arterial bleeding during surgical procedures. This hemostat is fully absorbed by the body within 7 to 14 days, eliminating the need for removal.
SURGICEL Original Hemostat serves as an adjunctive agent in surgeries to control bleeding when traditional methods like suturing or ligation are insufficient or impractical. Its loose-knit structure provides a matrix for platelet adhesion and aggregation, promoting clot formation. The material’s low pH creates a bactericidal environment, reducing the risk of infection at the surgical site. Additionally, it can be cut to size, making it versatile for various surgical applications.
