A non-bioabsorbable device derived from plant polysaccharides [e.g., micro-dispersed oxidized cellulose (M-Doc), oxidized regenerated cellulose (ORC), calcium alginate] intended for topical application to a traumatic wound (e.g., abrasion, laceration, cut), ulcer, and/or surgical wound, to facilitate local haemostasis; it does not contain an antimicrobial agent. It is available in various forms (e.g., gel, spray, powder, ointment, plaster/gauze pad, fibre/wool) that can be applied directly to the wound where it forms a seal until removed. The device is intended for use in the home or healthcare facility. This is a single-use device.
