Topical Mechanical Hemostats
The topical mechanical hemostat is made of oxidized regenerated cellulose(ORC) – based, gelatins, collagen-based agents, and polysaccharides.
These hemostats are suitable for patients who have their natural coagulation system functioning normally, which can be improved by controlling oozing.
Mechanical Hemostats absorb fluid multiple times their own weight. It also promotes platelet activation, aggregation which creates a matrix at the site of bleeding. The clotting pathway is then activated. These agents are immediately available and cost-effective.
Mechanical Hemostats are easy to use and can be stored at room temperature.
Oxidized Cellulose
Cellulose is a homopolysaccharide produced by the polymerization of glucopyranose through beta-glucosidic bonds. Oxidized cellulose is regenerated or non-regenerated. Oxidized cellulose is known for its easiness of usage, favorable biocompatibility, and bactericidal properties. These topical hemostats bring the hazard of ischemia due to compression or local inflammatory reaction. They should not be placed near nerves, ureters, or internal and vascular structures. Poor adhesion to tissue in wet environments may potentially make the usage tough
Gelatin-Based Mechanical Hemostats
These mechanical hemostats are prepared from porcine or bovine gelatin, facilitating fibrin formation at the end of coagulation. They provide a mechanical matrix for clots to adhere to and are resorbable.
Bovine Collagen Based Mechanical Hemostats
Bovine Collagen Based products provide a physical matrix that stimulates clot formation by promoting platelet aggregation and clotting factor release. Microfibrillar collagen does not swell significantly and gets absorbed in less than 8 weeks.
Polysaccharide-Based Mechanical Hemostats
Porous Polysaccharide materials enhance the clotting process by water absorption and clogging platelets and proteins. It reduces hemostasis time and transfusion requirements during cardiothoracic surgery. Completely resorbable which limits infection or granuloma formation.
HaemoCer Plus is a polysaccharide-based hemostat but not a mechanical hemostat. It is a powder-based hemostat that is completely resorbable.
Haemocer – Enhancer of natural blood clot process
Hemostatic powder like HaemoCer Plus is used when the normal blood clotting process needs a little push to fasten the blood clotting.
Plant-based HaemoCer Plus is an absorbable polysaccharide hemostat. They are prepared by a process known as PURE. It has no animal or human components present in it. HaemoCer Plus works by enhancing the natural clotting process without directly involving in any chemical reaction.
BioCer, a medical device company based in Bayreuth, Germany. They specialize in the development and production of innovative medical biomaterial products without animal or human components.
Morulaa Healthtech Pvt. Ltd is the licensed importer of BioCer products.
Advantages of HaemoCer Plus
- Natural – This polysaccharide is plant-based, has no human or animal components, and is easily absorbable
- Safe – Resorption rate is high (rapidly degraded by amylase in our body since it is predominantly starch). It helps to decrease foreign body risk and the formation of granuloma.
- Effective – Packing size is small which reduces storage volume. No special storage techniques are required.
