The Ethicon SURGICEL™ Original 5 × 7.5 cm Absorbable Hemostat (1903) is a sterile absorbable knitted fabric prepared by the controlled oxidation of regenerated cellulose. Designed for adjunctive haemostasis, SURGICEL™ assists in the control of capillary, venous and small arterial haemorrhage when ligation or conventional haemostatic techniques are impractical or ineffective.

When applied to a bleeding surface, SURGICEL™ forms a gelatinous mass that supports clot formation and provides a physical matrix to facilitate haemostasis. The material is fully absorbable and is gradually resorbed by the body during the natural healing process.

The 5 × 7.5 cm format offers controlled surface coverage for moderate-sized operative fields and difficult-to-access areas requiring precise haemostatic support. Supplied sterile and ready to use directly from the package, product code 1903 is intended for professional surgical use in hospital and clinical environments.
