What is MPH absorbable hemostatic powder?
MPH is a plant-derived absorbable hemostatic particle - cross-linked starch microspheres, ethylene oxide sterilized, resorbed within 14 days.
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Composition | Plant-derived cross-linked starch microspheres |
| Particle size | 30.8–97 μm |
| Sterilization | Ethylene oxide |
| Thrombin | None - thrombin-free |
| Hemostasis | Normally within about 1 minute |
| Resorption | Within 14 days, breaking down to water and carbon dioxide |
| Unit sizes | 0.5 g / 1 g / 2 g / 3 g / 5 g |
| Applicators | TQ-1 to TQ-4 configurations |
That profile is what a distributor sells against competitors: no animal origin, no thrombin, no cold chain, and a defined particle size range rather than an unstated one. For tender submissions, the resorption window and the thrombin-free status are usually the two lines a clinical committee asks about first.
What is the MOQ for absorbable hemostatic powder?
There are two numbers, and they are not interchangeable.
| Order type | Minimum order quantity |
|---|---|
| Standard Surgiclean brand, catalogue specification | 10 pcs |
| Customized order - your brand, your packaging | Set per project; the quantity is discussed before a quotation is issued |
10 pcs applies to the standard Surgiclean configuration as catalogued. It is an evaluation unit, not a container load. In practice it covers three B2B use cases:
Product qualification. Your own team handles and dispenses the material before you commit to a stock position.
Tender bridging. Enough to supply an evaluation or a small initial hospital order while a larger shipment is produced.
Sample stock for your sales force. Enough for demonstrations without opening a commercial account.
When your brand and packaging are applied, the quantity is not a catalogue figure. Pack format, print run and packaging material all move it, so it is settled in discussion and then quoted for that specific project. Treat a customized order as a project enquiry rather than a stock purchase: state the pack size, the artwork status and the target volume, and the quantity is agreed against those.
So the question worth asking is not "what is your MOQ" but "what quantity applies once my brand and packaging are on it?" The first answer is 10 pcs. The second one is a conversation.
Hemostatic powder lead time: what a distributor should plan for
1–2 days for ready stock. 20–60 days for made-to-order.
Ready stock is already produced and released, so the lead time covers picking, packing and export documentation. Made-to-order means a dedicated production run followed by release, which is what the 20–60 day window covers.
For a distributor, the planning implication is different in each case:
Ready stock suits replenishment against an existing order book, or a tender deadline that moved.
Made-to-order suits a launch: it is planned around your registration timeline and your first container, not around an urgent call-off.
Ask which end of the 20–60 day range your specification falls in - pack size, quantity and packaging format all move it. A bare "20–60 days" is a range, not a delivery commitment.
Private label hemostatic powder: what can change, what cannot
Brand and packaging.
| Customizable | Not changed for private label |
|---|---|
| Brand name and logo | Formulation (plant-derived cross-linked starch microspheres) |
| Label artwork and layout | Particle size range (30.8–97 μm) |
| Packaging format and printed materials | Sterilization method (ethylene oxide) |
| Language on label and instructions | Resorption profile (within 14 days) |
This split is the one to read carefully when comparing suppliers. Branding and packaging are configuration. The device itself - composition, particle size, sterilization, resorption - stays as registered, because changing any of them means new validation and, depending on the market, a new registration.
A supplier who offers to "adjust the formulation slightly" for your brand is describing a development project, not a private-label order. The evidence package would have to be rebuilt before the product could legally be sold, and the timeline is measured in registration cycles, not weeks.
Which certificates come with a hemostatic powder order?
Certificate numbers you can verify, plus lot-specific release data.
| Document | Scope | Number |
|---|---|---|
| CE certificate | EU conformity, notified body issued | C637543 |
| TGA | Australia, ARTG pathway | 390002 |
| NMPA | China registration | On certificate |
| ANVISA | Brazil registration | On certificate |
| ISO 13485 | Quality management system | On certificate |
| MDSAP | Single audit: US, Canada, Brazil, Japan, Australia | On certificate |
| BGMP / KGMP | Brazilian and Korean GMP | On certificate |
Ask for the scope page, not the cover. A CE certificate that lists a different product family will not survive a customs query or a tender review, and the buyer who discovers that at the border owns the problem.
Alongside the certificates, each shipment should carry a lot certificate of analysis, the sterilization validation summary behind the sterile claim, stability data supporting the expiry date, and the IFU and labelling file in the language of the destination market.
FOB or CIF: hemostatic powder shipping terms
Both are quoted from Ningbo or Shanghai.
| Term | Surgiclean handles | Distributor handles | Watch for |
|---|---|---|---|
| FOB | Export clearance, loading | Ocean freight, insurance, import clearance | Compare freight separately, like for like |
| CIF | Freight and insurance to your port | Import clearance, inland delivery | Insurance cover is often minimal; confirm the level |
Duty is rarely the deciding cost on this product. Sterile absorbable haemostatics sit under HS 3006.10, where the US base rate is Free and the EU third-country rate is 0%. Import VAT and clearance costs still apply, and those are what usually move the landed number.
Comparing hemostatic powder quotes per gram
Powder Absorbable Hemostat
Does the competitor's certificate number resolve to a scope that covers this product? "CE marked" without a number is a claim, not a certificate.
Is the particle size range stated? 30.8–97 μm is a specification. "Fine powder" is not.
Is the product thrombin-free and animal-free? It changes both the registration route and the clinical positioning.
Is the quoted lead time a range or a date? Ask for the position within it.
Is the private-label scope written down? "We can put your logo on it" is not a specification.
FAQ for distributors
Is the minimum order quantity for MPH always 10 pcs? No. 10 pcs applies to the standard Surgiclean brand in its catalogue specification. For a customized order with your own brand and packaging, the quantity is discussed and agreed per project before quotation.
How fast can ready stock ship? 1–2 days from order confirmation, subject to destination import requirements.
Why does made-to-order take 20–60 days? It requires a dedicated production run followed by release. Where your order sits in that range depends on pack size, quantity and packaging format.
Can we evaluate before placing a commercial order? Yes - 10 pcs is the evaluation quantity, and it is also the practical way to brief your own sales team.
Which sizes are available? 0.5 g, 1 g, 2 g, 3 g and 5 g, with applicator configurations TQ-1 to TQ-4.
What certifications can a distributor present to a tender committee? CE certificate C637543, TGA 390002, NMPA and ANVISA registrations, ISO 13485 and MDSAP. Ask for the scope page of each.
Is the product animal-derived? No. It is plant-derived cross-linked starch microspheres, thrombin-free, 30.8–97 μm, resorbed within 14 days.
What are the payment terms? Agreed per order and confirmed on the proforma invoice, together with the Incoterm and port.
