Oxidised Cellulose is a fabric material that is obtained by the oxidisation of alpha grade cotton gauze using nitrous oxide. The low pH of the cellulosic acid within the product has caustic properties that lead to hemostasis via the initial denaturation of blood proteins. CuraTamp® provides hemostasis in surgical procedures to control capillary, venous and small arterial bleeding when binding, suturing or other conventional methods of control are impractical or ineffective.
