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
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.
