SURGICELTM 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.
SURGICEL absorbable hemostat (oxidized regenerated cellulose) is used to control the flow of an open blood vessel when performing oral surgery procedures. SURGICEL can be left in the open socket, as the cellulose converts to glucose and saline. To ensure superior placement, sutures may be used to close the wound.
