Accel® Absorbable Hemostatic Powder

The powder in Accel works to dehydrate blood cells upon contact for wound sites, and aid in the natural clotting process. Accel is intended for use in surgical procedures (except neurological, opthalmic and urological) as an adjunctive hemostatic device to assist when control of capillary venous and ateriolar bleeding by pressure, ligature and other conventional procedures are ineffective or impractical.

Accel will be available for a variety of surgical applications, and can be applied using our flex tips for each application. Accel’s remarkable ability to clot blood, leaves behind a stable, fibrin clot and works with the bodies’ own natural healing process to accelerate the clotting cascade.

This video shows various solid organ injuries to which Accel has been applied. Hemostasis was successfully achieved in the range within 5 minutes.  After 30 minutes, each Accel clot was removed from the injury (approximately 6 clots) and in all cases, a visible fibrin seal had been left behind.
