Short Overview

SURGICEL Powder, ABSORBABLE HAEMOSTATIC POWDER (oxidised regenerated cellulose)¹

DESCRIPTION¹
SURGICEL Powder contains Oxidised Regenerated Cellulose (ORC) prefilled in an applicator to dispense on a target bleeding site. SURGICEL Powder is white with a pale yellow cast and has a faint, caramel-like aroma. It is stable and should be stored at controlled room temperature. A slight discoloration may occur with age, but this does not affect performance. SURGICEL is bactericidal due to low pH characteristics against a wide range of pathogenic microorganisms.
SURGICEL Powder is supplied sterile and as the material is not compatible with autoclaving or ethylene oxide sterilization, SURGICEL Powder should not be resterilized.¹
The applicator is provided with 3 grams of SURGICEL Powder (oxidised regenerated cellulose) and should not be resterilized. Sterility guaranteed unless package is opened or damaged.¹
Store at controlled room temperature 15°C-30°C (59°F-86°F).¹
