Different Bleeding Situations Require Different Solutions

Surgicel® Family of Absorbable Haemostats
Addresses various forms of continouous oozing bleeding that will not stop with compression or simple packing. This bleeding is more time consuming than it is difficult.1

Surgiflo® with Thrombin
Optimal for bleeding that occurs in tight and irregular spaces and when you cannot see the exact source of the bleed. Also, addresses possible concerns that accessing a tight space will cause more harm1.
