Abstract

The present invention relates to mechanically hemostatic body-absorbable compositions having a putty-like consistency which demonstrate excellent water resistance. The compositions are useful as mechanical hemostatic tamponades for the control of osseous hemorrhage. The compositions comprise carboxymethyl cellulose and one or more compounds selected from polyhydroxy compounds, esters of polyhydroxy compounds, fatty acids, esters of fatty acids, and mixtures of the foregoing.

Claims (1)

1 . A body-absorbable, mechanically hemostatic putty composition comprising Components 1 and 2 wherein Component 1 is carboxymethyl cellulose and Component 2 comprises one or more compounds selected from polyhydroxy compounds, esters of polyhydroxy compounds, fatty acids, esters of fatty acids, and mixtures of the foregoing, wherein the composition does not contain added water and Component 1 is 5-80% by weight of the final composition and Component 2 is 10-70% by weight of the final composition.
