Powder hemostatic agent SURGICEL™

Penetration that gets to the source - for efficient hemostasis in broad-surface bleeds.A1-3 SURGICEL Powder, the latest in SURGICEL innovation, provides a unique, powdered structure that penetrates beyond the surface of a bleed - with no prep needed and a ready-to-use application.B4,5 Its unique design provides updated hemostatic technology alongside a legacy of SURGICEL family bactericidal properties.C5 About this Device SURGICEL Powder contains 3 grams of Oxidized Regenerated Cellulose (ORC) powder prefilled in an applicator to dispense on a target bleeding site. SURGICEL is bactericidal due to low pH characteristics against a wide range of pathogenic microorganisms. SURGICEL Powder can also be applied in laparoscopic or other endoscopic procedures when used with the SURGICEL™ Endoscopic Applicator. Economic Evidence SURGICEL Powder Absorbable Hemostat has economic advantages over ARISTA™ AH. In a propensity score–matched, retrospective review comparing SURGICEL Powder to ARISTA™ AH in C-section and open hysterectomy cases, SURGICEL Powder was associated with: • $2,340 lower hospital cost per discharge in C-section casesD6 • $1,955 lower hospital cost per discharge in open hysterectomy casesE6 • Shorter length of stay in C-section casesF6 Adjunctive Hemostat Evidence Using adjunctive hemostats has been shown to control bleeding effectively and reduce resource use and costs.7-14 • Blood Transfusions—8%-35% fewer patients transfused • Length of Stay— reduced by 1 to 4.4 days • Operating Theatre Time— reduced by 15.2 to 25 minutes • Readmissions— significant reduction within 30 days (8.6% vs. 10.5%; P<0.00)
