CuraCel®
Wound Care
Information
CuraCel® Absorbable Haemostat is a sterile product made of oxidised regenerated cellulose (polyoxyan hydro glucuronic acid) available in standard fabric, high-density fabric and a 7-layer fibrillose (fibrillar) form. CuraCel® Haemostat can be cut into any desired dimension. CuraCel® Haemostat is applied dry. It can be laid on, held against or wrapped around a bleeding surface. As special features, CuraCel High Density can be sutured, and CuraCel Fibrillar can be peeled off in layers for optimal dosage. Action mechanism of CuraCel® is independent from blood coagulation mechanism of the body. When it contacts with blood, CuraCel® Haemostat forms a brownish or black gelatinous mass which aids clot formation. This gelatinous mass acts as a physical matrix to which platelets can adhere. With platelet aggregation and formation of a platelet-fibrin plug, haemostasis occurs. When CuraCel® Haemostat is used properly in minimal
amounts, it is absorbed from the sites of implantation without tissue reaction. It is completely absorbed within 7-14 days.
