Absorbable Oxicel Fibril Hemostat 2.5 x 5.1 Cm

Absorbable Oxicel Fibril Hemostat 2.5 x 5.1 Cm:

Absorbable fibril hemostats, primarily composed of oxidized regenerated cellulose (ORC), are bioabsorbable materials used to control bleeding. They act as a physical barrier that initiates vasoconstriction and platelet aggregation, providing rapid hemostasis for capillary, venous, and small arterial hemorrhages

Key Features and Benefits

• Customizable Structure: Its “fibrillar” or fleece-like texture allows surgeons to peel off thin layers, rolls, or tufts to fit irregular surfaces and hard-to-reach anatomy.
• Rapid Haemostasis: It provides a large surface area for platelet adhesion and aggregation, often stopping bleeding up to 39% faster than original knitted versions.
• Antibacterial Properties: The material naturally lowers the local pH, creating an environment that is bactericidal against various pathogens, including MRSA and VRE.
• Adherence: It “melts” into bleeding tissue, conforming to the site without sticking to surgical gloves or instruments. 

Common Applications

• Neurosurgery: For brain operations where precise placement is critical.
• Cardiovascular Surgery: Often used as a wrap for vascular prosthetics.
• General Surgery: Including liver, gallbladder, and thyroid operations.
• Laparoscopic Procedures: Specifically designed versions like  oxicel fibril are optimized for minimally invasive surgery
