What is Surgicel?

Surgicel is a well-known hemostatic agent that is widely used in surgical settings. It is designed to control bleeding by providing a scaffold for the body’s natural healing processes. Made from oxidized regenerated cellulose, Surgicel offers a safe and effective way to manage blood loss. Surgeons appreciate its ability to conform to wounds seamlessly, creating an optimal environment for clot formation. This is crucial during operations where even minor bleeding can complicate procedures.

Features of Surgicel

This product comes in a convenient size of 4" x 8", making it versatile for various surgical procedures. Each box contains 12 individual pieces, allowing for efficient use in multiple operations. Surgicel is not only effective in controlling bleeding, but it is also absorbable, which means it naturally breaks down in the body without the need for surgical removal. This quality is vital because it minimizes patient recovery time and discomfort, making it a preferred choice among healthcare professionals.

How to Use Surgicel

Using Surgicel is straightforward. Medical professionals typically apply it directly to the bleeding site during surgery, where it adheres to the tissue. The hemostatic effect begins immediately, and as the blood coagulates, it helps to form a stable clot. Because it absorbs gradually, Surgicel can provide continued benefits even after the initial application. Remember, Surgicel is meant for single use only, and its proper disposal is important to maintain a sterile operating environment.
