Description

Bone Wax is a sterile, non-absorbable hemostatic agent primarily composed of a blend of beeswax and softening agents. It is a critical material in surgical settings for the mechanical control of bleeding from bone surfaces, where conventional hemostasis is difficult to achieve. This product is essential for medical device manufacturers, pharmaceutical compounding facilities, and hospitals requiring a reliable, ready-to-use hemostatic sealant.

Application

• Orthopedic and Neurosurgical Hemostasis: Used to control bleeding from cut bone surfaces in procedures like spinal fusion, craniotomy, and sternotomy.
• Dental and Oral Surgery: Applied to arrest bleeding from alveolar bone following tooth extractions or other oral surgical interventions.
• Cardiothoracic Surgery: Essential for sealing the sternum and other bony structures to prevent postoperative bleeding.
• Trauma and Emergency Surgery: Provides rapid mechanical hemostasis in emergency settings involving bone fractures.
• Medical Device Component: Serves as a key raw material in the production of pre-packaged, sterile surgical kits and hemostatic products.
• Veterinary Surgery: Employed in veterinary orthopedic and surgical procedures for animal patients.
