What does it do?

Oxidized regenerated cellulose is a biocompatible substance made by oxidizing regenerated cellulose, mainly used to halt bleeding during surgical procedures. This ingredient acts as a hemostatic agent by promoting blood coagulation at the site of bleeding.

When oxidized regenerated cellulose is applied to the bleeding site, this ingredient comes into contact with blood, activating coagulation factors in the blood and physically absorbing the blood to assist in the formation of a clot. This helps to stop the bleeding quickly.
