Davol 1010090 Bard Avitene Microfibrillar Collagen Hemostat Medium 70 x 35 x 1mm

The Manufacturer (of this product) is Bard (a division of BD): Avitene Microfibrillar Collagen Hemostat (MCH) is 100% native collagen, a protein found in living systems which is known to possess hemostatic properties. It is designed for cessation of bleeding via enhancement of platelet aggregation and the body’s natural clotting cascade without employing additional coagulants or systemic medications.

Main Advantages and Features

✅ 100% Total Collagen Composition

Avitene MCH is produced from purified microfibrillar collagen which is obtained from bovine sources. This bioactive component simulates the natural human collagen structure because of its self-assembly features and hemostatically acts at the level of platelets and sub-epithelial tissue with fibrin clot acceleration.

✅ Avitene MCH Achieves Rapid Hemostasis

Avitene MCH has a clinically validated indication for the rapid control of bleeding, particularly oozing and capillary bleeding, which is difficult to manage with sutures, mechanical, or even diathermic techniques. Effectively, it enhances aggregation of the platelets at the bleeders, often achieving hemostasis within a few minutes.

✅ Moldable and Conformable

Avitene MCH is easy to apply and shape into intricate and hard-to-reach anatomical sites using irregular microfibrillar grooves. It can also be packed into the bleeding regions without grabbing surgical instruments or mask gloves, which promotes dexterity in surgical procedures.

✅ Absorbable and Biocompatible

Avitene MCH does not need removal and does not require surgical intervention. It is typically absorbed by the body within 7–10 days, which means that it can actively minimize the risk of foreign body reaction or any possible post-operative complications.

Avitene MCH can fully absorb and is biocompatible. Hence, it does not have to be surgically removed.

✅ Versatile Application

It can easily be trimmed, layered and combined with different hemostasis techniques, greatly improving versatility for more complex surgical procedures. The dimensions 70 x 35 x 1 mm also makes it suitable for medium-sized bleeding surfaces. Open and minimally invasive procedures can both benefit from it.

Avitene MCH is used, as directed, during bleeds and does not induce systemic coagulation or increase thrombus risk.  

Clinical Applications

General Surgery: Diffuse hemostatic control during open abdominal or thoracic surgery.  

Orthopedic Surgery: Bone hemostasis during spinal fusions and joint replacement surgery.  

Cardiovascular Surgery: Control of small vessel and surface oozing bleeding where suturing is not practical.  

Neurosurgery: Surrounding delicate neural structures where precision and minimal force are paramount.  

ENT and Head & Neck Procedures: Remote hemostatic assistance in confined anatomical regions.  

Gynecology and Obstetrics: Achieve hemostasis in dominantly blood vessels controlled operations like C-sections, hysterectomies, or myomectomies.  

Directions For Use

When using alone, Avitene MCH powder should be placed on bleeding surfaces and gently pressed until hemostasis is reached. It is usually better to use Avitene MCH together with sutures or ligatures. Yes, it is recommended, for example, not pouring saline before use.

Summary

Hemostasis in contemporary surgery would not be possible without the Davol 1010090 Bard Avitene Microfibrillar Collagen Hemostat (70 x 35 x 1 mm). The use of Avitene MCH fosters improved surgical outcomes due to decreased intra-operative blood loss, shortened time of the procedure, and enhanced wound healing. Its rapid action, excellent conformability, and biocompatible collagen matrix makes it a solution that is trusted from years of clinical use and proven effectiveness across various surgical fields.
