Created from regenerated cellulose, ActCel Hemostatic Gauze is an effective, patented hemostatic agent registered with the FDA. Upon contact with blood, ActCel gauze instantly converts to a collagen-like gel, which expands to cause direct pressure on blood vessels and control bleeding. ActCel Hemostatic Gauze is water-soluble and the gel can be removed easily with water, saline or hydrogen peroxide. This gauze has continually outperformed the competition when used in the field by emergency medical professionals where blood loss control is imperative. Shelf life is 4 years from manufacture date.
Actcel gauze is best used to stop bleeding for the following conditions:
- Wound and clot protection
- Small cuts and abrasions
- Lacerations
- Nose bleeds
- Punctures
Although ActCel can be used in any bleeding situation, the 2" x 2" size is widely used in the dental industry.
