- Surgicel is made of plant-based cellulose that has been oxidized.
- When it comes into contact with blood, it interacts with platelets and other blood components, promoting clot formation.
- The material also causes a localized reduction in blood pH, which can help constrict blood vessels and enhance clotting.
- Surgicel is designed to be absorbed by the body over time, typically within a few weeks, without hindering the natural healing process.
Common uses:
-
-
Control of capillary, venous, and small arterial bleeding:Surgicel is used in various surgical specialties to manage bleeding that is difficult to control with traditional methods like ligation.
-
-
Adjunct to other hemostatic techniques:It can be used in conjunction with other methods to achieve hemostasis, particularly in areas where direct pressure or sutures are challenging.
-
Endoscopic procedures:Surgicel can be applied in minimally invasive surgeries using specialized applicators, like the SURGICEL™ Endoscopic Applicator from J&J MedTech.
-
Various surgical specialties:Surgicel is used in a wide range of surgical fields, including neurosurgery, general surgery, gynecology, and urology.
Important considerations:
-
Proper application:It’s important to use the appropriate amount of Surgicel and to apply it correctly to the bleeding site.
-
Removal:In some cases, excess Surgicel may need to be removed after bleeding has stopped, especially in open wounds, by irrigation or forceps.
-
Potential complications:While generally well-tolerated, complications like granuloma formation or delayed healing have been reported with excessive or improper use.
