Okcel is an oxidised cellulose haemostat providing faster haemostasis and quicker absorption. Manufactured by the chemical experts Synthesia in the Czech Republic, Okcel comes in four formats Standard, Heavy-Duty, Fibrous Style and Strengthened Fibrous Style. Okcel has been used in surgery for over 20 years and has been used in over 3 million surgical procedures.
Okcel H-T is a textile material made from long, natural staple cotton. This knitted version of the absorbable haemostatic material is of standard density. It is used to control capillary bleeding, as well as bleeding from smaller veins and arterioles during surgery and minimally invasive procedures
Okcel H-D is a knitted textile version of the absorbable haemostatic material that is thicker, denser and more effective. It is suitable for stopping and controlling the diffusion of higher volumes of blood and bleeding from veins and arterioles during surgical procedures when it is not possible to use ligation or other conventional methods to stop bleeding
Okcel F is a non-woven, multi-layered fibrous version of the absorbable haemostatic material that is more lightweight and extremely flexible. It is used to achieve haemostasis over large areas, for surface applications and in hard to reach places
Okcel S is a strengthened, non-woven fibrous form of oxidised cellulose, offering superior handling, higher absorbency and is designed for use in laparoscopic surgery. The properties of Okcel S mean it does not stick to instruments, it’s easy to pass through the laparoscopic portal and has no memory effect. The two smaller sizes of Okcel S are also vacuum sealed, condensing the size of the product, allowing for easier passage in laparoscopic surgery. The product then naturally increases in size when exposed to air. Okcel S has the indication to control capillary, venous and arteriolar bleeding
