Consultant's Comments:
  • "Fast and effective hemostasis. It removed the need to suture weeping sites.”
  • “Easy to use, good consistency and stays firm for some time.”
  • “Adheres well to the mucosa. Good gel viscosity.”
  • “Minimum adhesion to the instrument.”
  • “Easy to dispense and easy to trim.”
  • “A little hard to get off the cotton forceps but it did not disintegrate when in contact with blood.”
  • “Tendency to stick to the instrument once it contacts blood and even sticks to itself.”
  • “It gelled so quickly I had difficulty packing it.”
  • “I found the gauze pieces to be too large generally. Plan on cutting them to the size you need.”
  • “One packet (two sponges) was good for a molar, but sometimes I just needed a smaller piece.”
  • “Clean-up of adjacent tissue was difficult.”
  • “Some patients thought it felt slimy or gooey.”"
Description:
SafeGauze Hemostat is a topical hemostatic dressing that is delivered as a sterile fabric. It is prepared by chemical treatment of regenerated cellulose and designed to be easy-to-use and to offer safe and effective control of bleeding following extractions and other surgical procedures such as free gingival grafts, or sinus lifts. When contacting blood or exudates, the dressing expands and transforms into a clear, viscous gel that fills the wound void, seals capillary ends, activates the clotting system, and thereby helps to stop bleeding. SafeGauze Hemostat is available in boxes containing 20 sterile units.
