For focus on the procedure, not the bleed. With enhanced handlingA,B,1,2, speed, and performance3, SURGICEL SNoW uses an updated, structured, non-woven fabric to conform to irregular surfaces and stop bleeding at the site.A2,4 Part of our SURGICEL family of products, SNoW is optimized for laparoscopic surgery with a variety of sizing options and is proven bactericidal in vitro against more than 2 dozen microbial organisms, including antibiotic-resistant bacteria (MRSA, VRE, PRSP, and MRSE). About this Device Our SURGICEL™ Absorbable Hemostats (oxidized regenerated cellulose) are sterile absorbable knitted fabric prepared by the controlled oxidation of regenerated cellulose. The fabric is strong and can be sutured or cut without fraying. The SURGICEL SNoW™ form of the product is a structured non-woven fabric, which may be more convenient than other forms of SURGICEL for use in endoscopic procedure Economic Evidence In a retrospective observational analysis, the use of SURGICEL SNoW and SURGICEL™ FIBRILLAR™ Absorbable Hemostat correlated with reduced hospital costs and resource consumption compared to SURGICEL™ Original Absorbable Hemostat. Up to 25 % less product usage Up to 38% lower transfusion costs Up to 16% reduction in length of stay Up to 20% lower ICU Costs Real World Evidence SURGICEL SNoW is associated with real-world clinical and economic value over legacy SURGICEL™ Original Hemostats. A retrospective analysis of the Premier hospital database showed8: 14-16% lower mean length of stay 12-18% lower total mean cost per discharge
