CuraWax - Non-Absorbable Haemostatic Devices
CuraWax® is a non-absorbable haemostatic bone wax and is fabricated from a mixture of beeswax (80%) and isopropyl palmitate (20%). It is obtained by fusion with hot water from the walls of the honeycomb Apis mellifera Linne´, and isopropyl palmitate which is a solvent with good emulsifiability. CuraWax® is opaque and has a distinctive odour and colour.
CuraWax® is a non-absorbable haemostatic bone wax and fabricated from a mixture of beeswax (80%) and isopropyl palmitate (20%). It is used to control osseous bleeding, acting as a physical tamponade of the bone canals.
CuraWax® is used to control bleeding which can occur during osseous bleeding, acting as physical tamponade of the bone canals. Before CuraWax® is applied to the bone surface, it should be softened by the use of an aseptic technique until the desirable consistency is achieved. CuraWax® is used for the mechanical haemostasis in osseous structures in Thoracic surgery, Neurosurgery, Orthopaedics, Traumatology, Dental, Oral and Jaw surgery.
CuraWax® does not induce a biochemical reaction within the organism, since it is a non-absorbable, non-toxic and inert product.
CuraWax® should not be used when bone fusion is required as it can act as an artificial barrier and counteract bone regeneration (osteogenesis).
- Achieves local haemostasis of osseous structures by acting as a mechanical barrier
- Haemostasis achieved by tamponade effect by occlusion of intraosseous vessels
- Soft and easy to shape for precise application (hand warm)
- Non-toxic and inert
- Outstanding sealing capacity and bone adherence
