BoneSeal®
Absorbable Bone Hemostat
BoneSeal® is a synthetic bone hemostatic putty composed primarily of hydroxyapatite and biodegradable polymers. It provides immediate hemostasis of bleeding cancellous bone while allowing normal bone healing and remodeling, unlike traditional non-resorbable bone wax.
Benefits:
- Provides effective hemostasis while allowing normal bone healing because it is resorbable.
- Hydroxyapatite supports bone remodeling and reduces the long-term foreign body response associated with traditional bone wax.
- May reduce the risk of sternal healing complications, infection, and delayed union.
- Particularly beneficial for high-risk cardiac surgery patients, including diabetics, obese patients, and those undergoing re-operative sternotomy.
- Easy to apply with no additional equipment or staff training required.
