1962

1962 The Ethicon SURGICEL® Absorbable Hemostat (1962) is a soft, lightweight, layered hemostatic dressing made from oxidized regenerated cellulose (ORC). It is designed for adjunctive hemostasis during surgical procedures to control capillary, venous, and small arterial bleeding when traditional methods such as ligation or cauterization are not effective. This ready-to-use hemostatic agent conforms easily to tissue surfaces, delivering fast bleeding control even in continuous oozing situations. The material is fully absorbable within 7–14 days, ensuring minimal tissue reaction and promoting natural healing. SURGICEL® hemostats are trusted by surgeons worldwide for their safety, reliability, and consistent performance across multiple surgical specialties.
