Features & Benefits

SURGICEL Powder Absorbable Haemostat penetrates through the blood to stop bleeding at the source, effectively achieving haemostasis in a wet field5,6≠
The structure of SURGICEL Powder Absorbable Haemostat allows it to penetrate the surface of the blood to get to the source of bleeding.13,14
SURGICEL Powder Absorbable Haemostat provides a surface for platelet adhesion and aggregation, working with the patient's endogenous clotting factors to initiate clot formation10

Control of Bleeding
SURGICEL Powder provides efficient control of continuous oozing bleeding on broad surfaces.7-8± After haemostasis has been achieved, irrigation of excess powder can be performed and the bleeding site will not re-bleed.9≤ Fully absorbable in 7 to 14 days.10≥

Proven Bactericidal
Proven bactericidal in vitro against a broad range of gram-positive and gram-negative organisms, including various antibiotic-resistant bacteria (MRSA, VRE, PRSP and MRSE)11,12

SURGICEL Powder
Named a “Gold Winner" in the “Drug-Delivery Devices and Combination Products” by the Medical Design Excellence Awards.***
