Description

Bone Wax, Suture, 2.5 g is a sterile hemostatic agent designed for effective control of bleeding from bone surfaces during surgical procedures. The formulation consists of a precise mixture of beeswax, paraffin, and isopropyl palmitate, which acts as a wax-softening agent to provide optimal kneadability and flow. Its physical properties allow the wax to be easily applied and molded onto bone surfaces, forming a mechanical barrier that achieves localized hemostasis.

The product functions exclusively through mechanical means, without biochemical activity, ensuring that it does not interfere with the body’s natural coagulation pathways. Its non-absorbable nature maintains the barrier effect throughout the procedure, providing consistent and reliable bleeding control. The sterile preparation minimizes the risk of infection and supports adherence to surgical aseptic standards.

Bone Wax is particularly useful in orthopedic, neurosurgical, and cardiac procedures where rapid hemostasis of exposed bone is required. It is applied directly to the bone surface using sterile instruments or by hand, enabling precise control over the extent and location of hemostasis. Its pliable consistency allows for accurate placement in difficult-to-reach areas.
