WoundClot™ Surgical is a bioabsorbable CE Class III Implantable hemostatic effective in the management of capillary, venous, and arterial bleeding during surgical procedures. WoundClot™ Surgical has the fastest resorption profile on any hemostatic available today. On average, WoundClot™ Surgical is broken down and absorbed by the body in 7-14 days. By comparison, other surgical hemostatics can have extended resorption profiles lasting as much as 40+ days. WoundClot™ Surgical is the world’s only Non-Oxidized, Non-Regenerated Cellulosic Structure (NONRCS) Hemostatic.
When WoundClot™ hemostatic gauze is applied to the site of bleeding, it rapidly converts from a dry fexible gauze to a thick, tenacious, expanding 3D gel matrix. This stable, strong, and pliant gel structure enables rapid and stable hemostasis to be achieved utilizing several mechanisms of action:
WoundClot™ hemostatic absorbs up to 2,500% of its weight in blood and remains actively absorbent for up to 24 hours.
WoundClot™’s 3D gel matrix enables the concentration of platelets, red blood cells, and clotting factors, creating an environment conducive to clotting.
WoundClot™’s pliant 3D gel matrix adheres to surrounding tissues in the wound and will not be dislodged by patient movement, wound manipulation, or high-pressure bleeding.
“WoundClot™’s advanced functional molecular groups stimulate the coagulation process by converting Plasma Thromboplastin Antecedent or PTA (XI) and Hageman (XII) clotting factors from inactive to active (XIa and XIIa).” To WoundClot™’s advanced functional molecular groups stimulate the coagulation process, enabling rapid and stable hemostasis to be achieved.
Effective in patients on anticoagulant/antiplatelet therapy.

A high safety profile and has no contraindications.
Can be used anywhere on the body.
Available in a variety of sizes and conforms and adheres to any anatomical shape effectively.
Zero toxicity – no harmful side effects or residues.
Does not stick to gloves or instruments.
Simple to use and requires minimal training to be utilised effectively.
WoundClot™ surgical is made from cellulose, a natural fiber product. WoundClot™ surgical is the only NonOxidized, Non-Regenerated Cellulose Structure (NONRCS) product in world. Other hemostatics made from cellulose are manufactured utilizing a obsolete method that breaks down cellulose by oxidization, greatly decreasing the product’s ability to absorb blood, adhere to wound surfaces, and create an environment that is conducive to achieving hemostasis.
WoundClot™ surgical is made from cellulose, a natural fiber product. WoundClot™ surgical is the only NonOxidized, Non-Regenerated Cellulose Structure (NONRCS) product in world. Due to its unique patented manufacturing process, WoundClot™ surgical does not require a “active Ingredient”. The material itself is engineered to be inherently hemostatic. Other hemostatics are made using a synthetic or natural substrate impregnated with an active ingredient like, Kaolin, Chitosan, Collagen, Silica, or Thrombin.
Mineral based hemostatics are comprised of a non-resorbable, non-woven fiber impregnated with an active ingredient like Kaolin. Kaolin is an inorganic fine, white clay powder, resulting from the natural decomposition of other clays or feldspar. These products work utilizing a single mechanism of action: activation of Factor XII (Hagman Factor). They require the application of intense manual pressure for at least 3-5 minutes in order to be effective. WoundClot™ Surgical utilizes multiple mechanisms of action: Rapid fluid absorption, adherence and expansion in the wound, aggregation of platelets, RBCs, and clotting factors, creating an environment conducive to clotting, as well activation of Factors XI and XII. WoundClot™ Surgical also is actively absorbent for up to 24 hours in the wound
Chitosan based hemostatics are comprised of a non-resorbable, non-woven fiber impregnated with the active ingredient, Chitosan. Chitosan is a sugar that is obtained from the hard-outer skeleton of shellfish, including crab, lobster, and shrimp. These products utilize a single mechanism of action: attracting negatively charged Red Blood Cells (RBCs) with its positively charged active ingredient. WoundClot™ Surgical utilizes multiple mechanisms of action: Rapid fluid absorption, adherence and expansion in the wound, aggregation of platelets, RBCs, and clotting factors, creating an environment conducive to clotting, as well as activation of 2 key clotting factors. WoundClot™ also is actively absorbent for up to 24 hours in the wound.
ORC hemostatics are based on more than 75+ year-old technology. These products have a tendency to stick to gloved hands and instruments, not the intended wound surfaces. Some ORCs are FDA Class III surgical Implantable products, but their Instructions for use indicate they should be removed whenever possible due to the increased risk of infection or adverse reaction. ORCs are not designed to be used if persistent or heavy bleeding is occurring. WoundClot™ Surgical is the world’s only NONRCS and is highly absorbent (up to 2,500% of its weight in fluid), highly adherent to wound surfaces—even in high pressure bleeding—and is actively absorbent for up to 24 hours in the wound. WoundClot™ Surgical is specifically engineered to effectively manage mild, moderate, and severe bleeding.
Unlike any other hemostatic product available today, WoundClot™ Surgical has multiple mechanisms of action. When WoundClot™’s Surgical patented non-oxidized regenerated cellulosic structure contacts blood, it converts into a thick, tenacious, expanding gel, adhering to wound surfaces. WoundClot™ Surgical does not require the application of manual pressure to be effective. WoundClot™ Surgical is highly absorbent and will absorb up to 2,500% its weight in fluid. It also remains actively absorbent for up to 24 hours. Additionally, Core Scientific has engineered specific functional molecular groups into WoundClot™ Surgical that will activate 2 key clotting factors. WoundClot™ Surgical has a high safety profile and can be used anywhere on the body and requires little to no training to utilize effectively.
Yes, it is one of the mechanisms of action WoundClot™ Surgical utilizes to achieve rapid hemostasis. WoundClot™ Surgical is engineered with specific functional molecular groups that activate Factors XI and XII.
WoundClot™ Surgical has the fastest bio-resorption profile of any surgical hemostatic on the market today. On average, it is completely broken down and resorbed by the body in 7-14 days. Other surgical hemostatics and take as long as 4-6 weeks to be resorbed.
WoundClot™ surgical is easily removed from wound by simply removing the clot. Rebleeding will not occur and any remaining gel can be easily irrigated out of the wound.
Currently, the shelf life is 5 years.
WoundClot™ surgical is effective in patients on antiplatelet/anticoagulant therapy. This is due to WoundClot™’s surgical multiple mechanisms of action.
Yes, the product is EXCELLENT for bleeding noses. Also, great for bloody lips.
