Ethicon 3013SP Surgicel Powder-3 Grams
Part # 3013SP Exp 3/21
Ethicon 3013SP Surgicel Powder (oxidized regenerated cellulose) is used adjunctively in surgical procedures to assist in the control of capillary, venous, and small arterial hemorrhage when ligation or other conventional methods of control are impractical or ineffective.
SURGICEL Powder is white with a pale yellow cast and has a faint, caramel-like aroma. It is stable and should be stored at controlled room temperature.
A slight discoloration may occur with age, but this does not affect performance. SURGICEL® is bactericidal due to low pH characteristics against a wide range of pathogenic microorganisms.
The mechanism of action whereby Ethicon 3013SP Surgicel Powder (oxidized regenerated cellulose) accelerates clotting is not completely understood, but it appears to be a physical effect rather than any alteration of the normal physiologic clotting mechanism.
After SURGICEL Powder has been saturated with blood, it swells into a brownish or black gelatinous mass which aids in the formation of a clot, thereby serving as a hemostatic adjunct in the control of local hemorrhage.
When used properly in minimal amounts, SURGICEL® Powder is absorbed from the sites of implantation
with practically no tissue reaction. Absorption depends upon several factors, including the amount used, degree of
saturation with blood, and the tissue bed.
In addition to its local hemostatic properties, SURGICEL® Powder is bactericidal in vitro against a wide range of
gram-positive and gram-negative organisms including
In Perfect sealed condition but but past expiration date. Not for human use in the US.
Expiration dates have mostly to do with sterilization and not the integrity of the product. The manufacturers sterilize the products after they are packaged and it lasts so many years. The only products we caution customers about are ones that are absorbable or drug coated.
