Surgicel (also known as oxidized regenerated cellulose) is a sterile, absorbable hemostatic agent used during surgeries to control bleeding. It is available in various sizes and is placed directly on bleeding tissue to promote clotting. Surgicel is especially useful in delicate surgeries where precise bleeding control is required, such as in vascular, neurological, and general surgeries.
A dozen Surgicel of all sizes refers to a pack containing 12 units of Surgicel in different sizes to accommodate various surgical needs. The sizes can range from small sheets for localized bleeding control to larger sheets for broader areas.
Key features of Surgicel include:
- Hemostatic properties: Promotes blood clotting when placed on bleeding tissue.
- Absorbable: Gradually absorbed by the body over time, eliminating the need for removal.
- Flexible and adaptable: Conforms to the shape of the tissue, making it easy to apply in complex surgical areas.
Surgicel is commonly used in operating rooms across various surgical disciplines to ensure effective management of bleeding, reducing the risk of complications during and after surgery.
