In surgical practice, reliable haemostasis is essential to ensuring patient safety, maintaining a clear operative field, and preventing postoperative complications. WoundClot® Surgical is a bioabsorbable haemostatic agent designed to deliver rapid, effective control of bleeding in a wide range of surgical procedures.

Key Properties

• Bioabsorbable and Non-Traumatic
  WoundClot® is made from non-oxidised, non-regenerated cellulose, fully absorbable within 7–14 days. It does not require removal and is atraumatic to surrounding tissues.
  
  
• Forms a Stable Gel Matrix on Contact with Blood
  Upon application, WoundClot® transforms into a self-supporting gel, providing a physical barrier while promoting physiological clotting.
  
  
• No Manual Pressure Required
  Unlike some other agents, WoundClot® adheres effectively without compression, improving visibility and access during active procedures.
  
  
• Versatile Across Specialties
  Effective for capillary, venous, and moderate arterial bleeding, WoundClot® has demonstrated utility in general, cardiovascular, oncologic, orthopaedic, and neurosurgical contexts.
  
  

Common Surgical Applications

• Orthopaedics: Bone bed haemostasis during joint arthroplasty or fracture repair.
  
  
• Oncology: Tumour excisions with complex vascular involvement.
  
  
• Cardiothoracic and Vascular: Localised control during vessel dissection or grafting.
  
  
• General Surgery: Liver or spleen trauma, bowel resections.
  
  

Clinical Advantages

• Reduces intraoperative blood loss and transfusion requirements.
  
  
• Supports a drier field, improving surgical precision.
  
  
• Minimises postoperative rebleeding and wound complications.
  
  
• Time-efficient: no preparation required, easy to apply.
  
  

WoundClot® Surgical is a practical addition to the surgical haemostasis toolkit. Its efficacy, safety profile and ease of use make it well-suited to routine and complex procedures alike.
