Bone Wax (HAEMOWAX)

Sterile Bone Wax For Local Hemostasis

Bone Wax is a mixture of beeswax, paraffin, and isopropyl palmitate, a wax-softening agent. It is opaque and has a waxy odour. It’s indicated for use in the control of bleeding from bone surfaces during surgical procedures. It achieves local hemostasis of bone by acting as a mechanical (tamponade) barrier. It does not act biochemically and is non-absorb-able. It is available sterile in individual foil envelopes, each containing 2.5 g and packed in an individually sealed overwrap. It is sterilized by Gamma radiation.

Packets should be opened just prior to use to minimize the possibility of contamination and excessive drying and should be used immediately. The Surgical Wax should not be re-sterilized or subjected to excessive heat. It is opaque and has a waxy odour. It’s indicated for use in the control of bleeding from bone surfaces.

Best Use For

The HAEMOWAX (Sterile Bone Wax) is best used as a mechanic hemostat to control bleeding in surgical procedures involving bone tissue. Mainly in cardiac surgery where hemostasis is necessary to make in general, the sternum bone.

Bone wax is indicated for the mechanical control of bone haemorrhages in:

  • Thoracic surgery (sternum, ribs)
  • Neurosurgery
  • Traumatology and Orthopedics
  • Maxillofacial surgery (facial bones)
  • Thoracic surgery.
  • Dental, oral and maxillary-face surgery.

Mode of Action & Recommendations

Bone wax has no intrinsic pharmacological properties. The hemostatic effect is mechanically produced by occlusion of the intraosseous blood vessels.

  • Do not re-sterilize.
  • Medical and hospital use only.
  • Do not apply bone wax directly to the central nervous system.
  • Do not use bone wax in patients with a known allergy to beeswax.
  • Discard products that have been opened and not used.
  • Do not use the product with the validity term expired.
  • Bone wax should not be applied to infected areas since it can enhance the infection.
  • Containers should be open only in the act of surgery and under sterile conditions.
  • Bone wax is for single-use: its reuse can trigger an infection in the patient and/or in the user and deterioration in the functionality of the product.
