ActCel Hemostatic Gauze | | | General Information | |
| Vendor | | ActSys Medical, Inc. | | Item | | ActCel Hemostatic Gauze | | Features | | ActCel stops bleeding quickly and effectively by:
- Adhering - ActCel hemostatic gauze adheres to the bleeding surface, physically blocking and sealing off the damaged blood vessels.
- Expanding - Once in contact with the blood, ActCel expands to create direct pressure and helps stop bleeding.
- Transforming - ActCel transforms into a collagen-like gel that increases platelet aggregation and stabilizes clot formation.
- Dissolving - ActCel is water-soluble and is easily rinsed away with sterile water, saline or hydrogen peroxide. Once ActCel has helped form a clot, it will dissolve into a glucose saline gel in 1-2 weeks.

| | Product Description | |
| ActCel Hemostatic Gauze is a collagen-like natural substance created from chemically treated cellulose. It is an effective, patented, hemostatic agent registered with the FDA to help control bleeding from open wounds and in body cavities. The material contains no chemical additives, thrombin or collagen and is hypoallergenic. When it comes in contact with blood, it expands to 3-4 times its original size and converts to a gel that dissolves into glucose and saline over a 1-2 week period. Because of its purity and the fact that it simply degrades to these end products, ActCel does not cause delayed healing as do other hemostatic material that may have similar appearance.
Research shows that ActCel effectively cuts down on clotting time, helps stabilize new clots by accelerating the formation of fibrin cross-linkages and increases whole blood viscosity, thus promoting the aggregation of red blood cells.
ActCel has been and continues to be a successful stop-bleeding product in the dental, OB/GYN, EMS, Veterinary and Athletic industries. Some benefits of ActCel include: - Quick clotting time
- No additives to delay healing
- Breaks down into saline and glucose
- Sterile and bacteriostatic
- All Natural
- Hypo-allergenic
- Cost effective
- No reported side effects
