HEMOCOLL (Absorbable Sterile Fibrillar Collagen Wound Filler – Hemostatic agent)

• - HEMOCOLL (Absorbable Sterile Fibrillar Collagen for Dental Surgery)
• - Hemocoll is a fibrillar type-I collagen hemostat. These collagen fibres physiologically interact with patient body’s own clotting mechanism to stop bleeding.
• - The result is a quick cessation of bleeding that is achieved more rapidly, naturally and effectively.
• - Hemocoll fibres is intended for the surgical procedures as an adjunct to hemostasis when control of bleeding by ligature or conventional procedures is ineffective or impractical includes: extraction and biopsy sites

ADVANTAGES OF HEMOCOLL COLLAGEN FIBRES:

- The high purity collagen bres of Hemocoll naturally attract and aggregates platelets, enhancing the clotting process better than the partially denatured or gelatinized collagen
products.

- It needs only minimal preparation time because, unlike other agents, the native collagen fibrillar Hemocoll does not require thrombin to enhance its efficacy

CAUTION:

- After five to ten minutes, excess Hemocoll collagen fibres should be removed, either by teasing away or by irrigation with saline, followed by aspiration.

- If breakthrough bleeding occurs in areas of thin application, additional Hemocoll may be applied.

-The amount required will depend on the severity of bleeding.

CONTRA-INDICATIONS:

- Hemocoll collagen fibre is derived from a bovine or ovine source and should not be used in patients with known sensitivity to such material.

STORAGE:

- Hemocoll should be kept in a clean, dry location. It can be stored at ambient room temperature and it is risk-free between -18°C to 40°C or 0°F to 104°F.

STERILIZATION:

- Hemocoll collagen fibre shelf life is 3 years
