Absorbable Hemostats Snow uses an updated, structured, non-woven fabric to conform to irregular surfaces and stop bleeding at the site.
This absorbable hemostatic agent for stopping local bleeding is a supplementary hemostatic agent used when ligation or other methods do not work to stop the bleeding from capillary vessels and arterioles during a surgery.
