Oxidized Regenerated Cellulose
Absorbable Haemostatic Oxidized Renegerated Cellulose
- Haemostasis within 3 – 4 minutes
- Natural, Plant based
- Low pH creates bactericidal environment
- Completely absorbed within 7–14 days
- Can be cut into any desired dimension without fraying
- Applied dry and can be laid on, held against or wrapped around a bleeding surface
- High flexibility and drapability
- Full absorption at the site of application without tissue reaction
- In conformance with the requirements for Oxidized Regenerated Cellulose as described in the US-Pharmacopoeia (latest edition)
Why to use Surgi-ORC®
- The plant based natural cellulose dissolved and extruded as a continuous fiber (regeneration). The fabric made from these fibers has uniform chemical composition. The oxidized form of these fabrics shows high stability and fluid absorption when compared with cotton-based products.
- Surgi-ORC® Absorbable Haemostat is a sterile product made-up of oxidized regenerated cellulose. (polyoxyan hydro glucuronic acid)
- Surgi-ORC® absorbable Haemostat has no animal or chalcogen additive substances and can be sutured and cut without any wear.
Haemostatic Mechanism
The action mechanism of Surgi-ORC® is independent from the blood coagulation mechanism of the body. Surgi-ORC® absorbs the blood and forms a brown/black gelatinous mass, which aids clot formation at the site of application.
This gelatinous mass acts as a physical matrix for the platelets adherence. Platelets aggregation leads to the formation of a platelet-fibrin plug, hence, Haemostasis.

Application
Applying Surgi-ORC® is very simple, fast and safe. The haemostatic reticulum can be applied directly onto the dried bleeding area or organ. It acts locally and stops bleeding usually within 3-4 minutes, depending on the type of surgery and the intensity of bleeding.
The product can either be applied to the required area by gentle pressure, attaching it with a stitch, sewing it onto a tissue or an organ or it can be used as a form of tamponade. Surgi-ORC® is perfectly absorbable and need not to be removed from the site of application.
Surgi-ORC® ORIGINAL, Surgi-ORC® FIBRIL, Surgi-ORC® KNIT and Surgi-ORC® NON WOVEN haemostats are white or pale yellow in color and can be cut into desired sizes for different endoscopic surgeries. Surgi-ORC® Absorbable Haemostats are fully absorbed with minimum tissue reaction.
