Bone Wax – bone wax from Ethicon and SMI

Bone Wax is a sterile, moldable bone wax for local control of bleeding from bone surfaces. The bone wax is applied to the bleeding surface and acts as a mechanical barrier by sealing open vascular channels in the bone.

At Sutures Online, you’ll find Bone Wax from both Ethicon and SMI. The products are based on beeswax combined with emollient components and are delivered sterile and ready to use. The wax’s moldable consistency allows for controlled application and adaptation to the shape of the bone surface.

Unlike resorbable hemostatic agents, traditional bone wax is not broken down by the body. It should therefore not be used where rapid bone healing, bone regeneration, or bone fusion is desired. Bone Wax is intended for qualified healthcare professionals and should always be used sparingly and in accordance with the respective manufacturer’s instructions for use.
