Hemostatic Fibril & Brain Pad

Healda's hemostatic fibrils and brain pads are an advanced generation of hemostatic agents based on oxidised regenerated cellulose (ORC), developed specifically for bleeding management in neurosurgery and other delicate tissue. Their fibrillar, layered structure creates a large contact surface with blood platelets and lowers the local pH, accelerating natural clot formation. The soft, pliable fibrils let the surgeon place the material easily into irregular surgical cavities and achieve hemostasis without damaging brain parenchyma.

Manufacturing takes place at Healda using modern biopolymer separation and purification technology. Thanks to their high biocompatibility, the pads need not be removed at the end of the procedure: they are absorbed completely through an enzymatic process without causing adhesions or secondary immune reactions. Beyond hemostasis, the acidic environment the fibrils create is bacteriostatic against a broad spectrum of bacterial pathogens, reducing the risk of post-operative infection in sensitive neurological procedures.
