Description

Ethicon Bonewax is a specialized hemostatic agent used in surgical procedures involving bone to help control bleeding and promote hemostasis. It is a sterile, malleable wax-like substance designed to adhere to bone surfaces when applied, creating a physical barrier that aids in stopping bleeding from bone tissue. The main components of Bonewax typically include beeswax and isopropyl palmitate or other ingredients. The blend of these materials gives the Bonewax its characteristic texture, which allows it to be easily molded and applied to the bleeding bone surface by the surgeon. During surgical interventions that involve cutting, drilling, or manipulating bone, bleeding from the bone can be a challenging issue. Bonewax offers an effective solution to address this concern. When Bonewax comes into contact with blood or body fluids, it adheres to the bone, creating a seal and acting as a mechanical barrier to control bleeding. This property makes it particularly useful in various surgical specialties, including orthopedic, neurosurgery, and maxillofacial surgeries.
