1961

1961 The Ethicon SURGICEL® Absorbable Hemostat (1961) is a soft, lightweight, layered hemostatic dressing made from oxidized regenerated cellulose (ORC). Designed for adjunctive surgical use, it effectively controls capillary, venous, and small arterial bleeding when traditional methods like ligation or cauterization are impractical. This ready-to-use absorbable hemostat conforms easily to irregular surfaces, providing fast hemostasis in cases of continuous oozing. It is fully absorbed within 7–14 days, leaving no foreign material behind and supporting natural healing. Sterilized by irradiation and stored at controlled room temperature, SURGICEL® ensures consistent performance, safety, and reliability in every procedure.
