On contact the ultra hygroscopic STARSIL HEMOSTAT® particles rapidly absorb fluid from the blood. The process leads to a local concentration of corpuscular blood particles such as erythrocytes, thrombocytes as well as serum proteins and thrombin, accelerating the natural coagulation cascade. It forms a dense gel matrix that seals the wound and further blood flow from the wound is inhibited.

STARSIL HEMOSTAT® is not affected by the patients clotting status, therefore it is also suitable for patients under anticoagulation therapy.

STARSIL HEMOSTAT® is 100% plant based and biocompatible. Unlike many other surgical hemostats it is absorbed without residues within 48 to 72 hours through endogenous amylase, preventing foreign body reactions or granuloma formation and once fully irrigated, will not swell post operatively.

WIDE RANGE OF APPLICATIONS

Today, STARSIL HEMOSTAT® is used in almost all surgical disciplines to achieve fast and reliable hemostasis. Because of its ease of use and benefits it is widely used from open surgery through laparoscopic intervention up to robotic-assisted surgery.

SAFE AND BIOCOMPATIBLE

Unlike many other surgical hemostats or products for adhesion prevention STARSIL HEMOSTAT® DOES NOT carry a risk of transmitting infectious agents, such as viruses or prions that can cause diseases.

And STARSIL HEMOSTAT® DOES NOT carry a risk of causing allergic/anaphylactoid reactions to bovine, porcin or human derived substances or proteins.
