Description

SURGICEL Absorbable Hemostat, Sterile, 2 x 14 is a surgical adjunct designed to assist in the control of capillary, venous, and small arterial bleeding when conventional methods such as ligation are impractical. Constructed from oxidized regenerated cellulose, the hemostat provides an effective absorbable matrix that promotes platelet adhesion and aggregation, supporting rapid hemostasis in surgical sites.

The device is supplied sterile in individual packets to maintain product integrity and reduce the risk of contamination during procedures. Measuring 2 inches in width and 14 inches in length, the hemostat offers adequate coverage for localized bleeding while remaining pliable for precise placement. Its absorbable nature eliminates the need for removal, simplifying postoperative management and reducing surgical intervention time.

SURGICEL maintains structural stability upon contact with blood, forming a gelatinous mass that conforms to tissue surfaces and aids in clot formation. The material is biocompatible and designed to be safely absorbed by the body over time, minimizing inflammatory response. Its five-year shelf life ensures long-term usability under proper storage conditions, supporting efficient inventory management in surgical facilities.
