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.

Features & Benefits:

• • SURGICEL Powder achieved hemostasis on 15 out of 15 sites in a diffuse bleeding liver abrasion model while ARISTA™ AH achieved hemostasis on only 4 out of 15. G15
• • SURGICEL Powder is proven bactericidal in vitro against more than 2 dozen microbial organisms, including antibiotic-resistant bacteria (MRSA, VRE, PRSP, and MRSE).C5
• • Ready to use - right out of the package. 5 Designed for one-handed use and consistent dosage per application, 16 SURGICEL Powder aims to maximize efficiency - alongside a flexible tip for use on both open and endoscopic applicators.
