In hospitals, emergency centers and other medical institutions, hemostatic dressings have become a must-have for various surgeries and injuries.

However, there are many types of hemostatic dressing, which including Hemostatic Bandage, Hemostatic Gauze, Hemostatic Powders, Collagen Hemostasis and Fibril Hemostasis.

Hemostatic Bandage can be applied to control bleeding in emergency situations. It can physically compress blood vessels, reduce blood loss, and help maintain the patient's vital signs, especially in cases of heavy bleeding in the limbs. Hemostatic Bandage usually are with elasticity and are suitable for various injuries, such as cuts, lacerations, or gunshot wounds, and can play a key role while waiting for professional medical assistance.

Hemostatic gauze can be applied as a supporting hemostatic device, this product is suitable for various surgical procedures. It can help control the bleeding of capillaries, veins and small arteries where bleeding can't be well controlled by traditional methods like ligation. For example, Surgiclean Oxidized Regenerated Cellulose is the absorbable hemostatic gauze is made of 100% regenerated cellulose and suitable for appendectomy, breast surgery, hernioplasty, gastric resection, operations to the throat and nose, liver and gallbladder operations gynecological operations, thyroid operations.

Surgiclean MPH Absorbable Hemostatic Particles has the advantages below:

Made from plant starch (potato)

Reverse phase emulsification cross-linking technology

Space net microstructure with a diameter between 30.8 and 97 μm

EO sterilization

Metabolize in vivo, excellent biocompatibility

Collagen Hemostasis is the wound healing hemostasis, usually used for hemostasis of non-pulsatile small arteries, small veins, and capillaries during abdominal surgery when conventional hemostatic methods such as pressure, ligation, electrocoagulation, or other methods are ineffective. Its main component is usually achilles tendon collagen.

Surgiclean Absorbable Hemostatic Collagen Sponge is a biodegradable biomaterial extracted from bovine achilles tendon. It has the hemostatic effect of absorbing liquids and forming blood clots on treatment area. Also, the collagen has the repair effect of stimulate the growth of fibroblasts and vascular endothelial cells.

Fibril Hemostasis is suitable for various surgical operations when ligation or other conventional control methods are ineffective or inoperable. The non-woven fabric structure made it can be separates into layers for more precise treatment for hard to reach or irregularly shaped bleeding sites. However, the fibril hemostasis is not suitable for ophthalmology, neurosurgery and urology.

Surgiclean Fibril Absorbable Hemostat Oxidized Regenerated Cellulose) is sterile absorbable non-woven fabric prepared by oxidation of regenerated cellulose.

The invention of hemostatic dressings has greatly promoted the development of human medical care. It not only provides convenience for doctors to save lives and heal the wounded, but also allows ordinary people to provide more thoughtful and detailed medical care for themselves and their families.
