P r o v e n B a c t e r i c i d a l P r o p e r t i e s SURGICEL Absorbable Hemostat is the first and only absorbable hemostat that is proven bactericidal against a broad range of gram-positive and gram-negative organisms including various antibiotic-resistant bacteria (MRSA, VRE, PRSP and MRSE),4,5 Logarithmic Reduction of MRSA 4 1.00E+10 1.00E+9 1.00E+8 CFU/mL 1.00E+7 1.00E+6 1.00E+5 1.00E+4 1.00E+3 1.00E+2 1.00E+1 Control SURGICEL Original Absorbable Hemostat SURGICEL NU-KNIT Absorbable Hemostat SURGICEL FIBRILLAR TM Absorbable Hemostat In vivo animal studies have proven SURGICEL Absorbable Hemostat, in contrast to other hemostatic agents studied, does not enhance infection 6-9 50 0 0 6 12 18 24 Time (hours) 40 Surviving Populations 30 20 Control Absorbable Gelatin Sponge Collagen Hemostatic Agent SURGICEL Absorbable Hemostat 10 0 0 5 10 20 30 Days The experimental model: 140 guinea pigs were utilized to simulate the development of intra-abdominal abscess and/or peritonitis, which can occur in humans when a large blood clot becomes contaminated. Clinical significance of these animal or in vitro data has yet to be determined. Closing SURGICEL Absorbable Hemostat into a contaminated wound without drainage may lead to complications and should be avoided.
