HAEMOWAX - Sterile Bonewax

Bone Wax is a mixture of beeswax, paraffin, and isopropyl palmitate, a wax-softening agent. It is opaque and has a waxy odor. It’s indicated for use in the control of bleeding from bone surfaces and use in Wound Closure.

• It achieves local homeostasis of bone by acting as a mechanical (tamponade) barrier.
• It does not act biochemically and is non-absorb-able.
• It’s available sterile in individual foil envelopes, each containing 2.5 gm and packaged in an individually sealed overwrap packet.
• Surgical Bone Wax is sterilized by Gamma radiation.
• It is used to control local bleeding from bone surfaces by creating a mechanical (tamponade) barrier.
• Bone Wax supplied sterile in 2.5-gram foil envelopes with sealed overwrap.
• Packets should be opened just prior to use to minimize the possibility of contamination and excessive drying and should be used immediately.
• The Surgical Wax for wound clouser should not be re-sterilized or subjected to excessive heat.
