Surgicel Absorbable Hemostatic Dressings

Surgicel by Johnson & Johnson is a trusted name in surgical hemostasis, giving operating teams a dependable way to control bleeding when suture, ligature, or cautery are impractical or ineffective. Made from oxidized regenerated cellulose (ORC), Surgicel is applied directly to a bleeding site, where it forms a gel-like clot and is then absorbed by the body over time — eliminating the need for later removal.

This collection features the Surgicel Fibrillar Absorbable Hemostatic Dressing (1 x 2 inch, sterile, product 1961). The Fibrillar format is layered, soft, and easily separated, so surgeons can peel off just the amount needed and conform it to irregular surfaces or hard-to-reach areas. Its pliability makes it a common choice in neurosurgery, cardiovascular, ENT, and general procedures where precise, localized bleeding control matters.

Why oxidized regenerated cellulose matters

ORC does more than absorb blood — it actively supports clot formation on contact and offers a low-pH environment associated with bactericidal properties against a broad range of organisms. Because Surgicel is bioabsorbable, the material typically breaks down within one to two weeks depending on the amount used and the site, so it can be left in place at closure. Surgeons generally use the minimum amount needed for hemostasis, since excess material can prolong absorption.

Each dressing arrives sterile in individual packaging, ready for the sterile field. If you're stocking a surgical suite or ambulatory center, the 1 x 2 inch size offers a versatile footprint that can be cut or fragmented to fit the wound.
