Key Facts

- Standard Knitted form

Contraindication
Do not use as packing or wadding unless it is to be removed after haemostasis has been achieved.
Do not use for implantation in bone defects such as fractures since there is a possibility of interference with callus formation and a theoretical chance of cyst formation.
When used to help achieve haemostasis in, around or in proximity to formania in bone, areas of bony confines, the spinal cord or the optic nerve and chiasm, it must always be removed after haemostasis is achieved since it may swell and could exert unwanted pressure.
