Absorbable Haemostat Surgi-ORC

Surgi-ORC is a natural, plant based Absorbable Haemostat, made up of Oxidized Regenerated Cellulose designed to stop capillary, venous and small arteriolar bleeding.

The mechanism of action of Surgi-ORC is independent from ® ® the blood coagulation mechanism of the body.

Surgi-ORC absorbs the blood and forms a brown/black gelatinous mass, which aids clot formation at the site of application. This gelatinous mass acts as a physical matrix for the platelets adherence. Platelets aggregation leads to the formation of a platelet-fibrin plug, hence, Haemostasis.
