About this Device

SURGICEL Powder contains 3 grams of Oxidized Regenerated Cellulose (ORC) powder prefilled in an applicator to dispense on a target bleeding site. SURGICEL is bactericidal due to low pH characteristics against a wide range of pathogenic microorganisms. SURGICEL Powder can also be applied in laparoscopic or other endoscopic procedures when used with the SURGICEL™ Endoscopic Applicator.

Economic Evidence

SURGICEL Powder Absorbable Hemostat has economic advantages over ARISTA AH.

In a propensity score–matched, retrospective review comparing SURGICEL Powder to ARISTA AH in C-section and open hysterectomy cases, SURGICEL Powder was associated with:

• $2,340 lower hospital cost per discharge in C-section casesD6
• $1,955 lower hospital cost per discharge in open hysterectomy casesE6
• Shorter length of stay in C-section casesF6

Adjunctive Hemostat Evidence

Using adjunctive hemostats has been shown to control bleeding effectively and reduce resource use and costs.7-14

• Blood Transfusions—8%-35% fewer patients transfused
• Length of Stay— reduced by 1 to 4.4 days
• Operating Theatre Time— reduced by 15.2 to 25 minutes 
• Readmissions— significant reduction within 30 days (8.6% vs. 10.5%; P<0.00) 

Features & Benefits

Strong, Durable Clot

SURGICEL Powder achieved hemostasis on 15 out of 15 sites in a diffuse bleeding liver abrasion model while ARISTA AH achieved hemostasis on only 4 out of 15.G15

Kills Most Common Bacteria

Kills Most Common Bacteria

SURGICEL Powder is proven bactericidal in vitro against more than 2 dozen microbial organisms, including antibiotic-resistant bacteria (MRSA, VRE, PRSP, and MRSE).C5

Ease of Use

Ready to use - right out of the package.5 Designed for one-handed use and consistent dosage per application,16 SURGICEL Powder aims to maximize efficiency - alongside a flexible tip for use on both open and endoscopic applicators.

Device Specifications and Comparisons

SURGICEL Powder (oxidized regenerated cellulose) is used adjunctively in surgical procedures to assist in the control of capillary, venous, and small arterial hemorrhage when ligation or other conventional methods of control are impractical or ineffective.5
