The Hemostasis BoneSeal Bone Hemostat stops bone bleeding by establishing a physical barrier along the edges of bones that have been damaged by trauma or cut during a surgical procedure. When applied as directed, BoneSeal forms a mechanical barrier that occludes the vascular openings in the damaged bone. This barrier prevents further bleeding during the surgical procedure. BoneSeal is based upon known biodegradable polymeric chemistry that forms a ready-to-use hemostatic agent. BoneSeal is available as a bone hemostat ingot of various masses. The bone hemostat ingot can be molded and formed by the surgeon to fit the damaged bone and applied to the bleeding area.
A sterile, implantable device in the form of a sterile wax-like, putty-like, or paste material designed to stop bone bleeding by the creation of a physical barrier along the edges of bone that has been damaged by trauma or cut during a surgical procedure. When placed on the bone under moderate pressure it plugs the vascular openings in the bone and prevents further bleeding. It is typically made from biocompatible/bioabsorbable synthetic substances (e.g., water-soluble copolymers); its stickiness may be increased by warming and by additional handling and manipulation.
