Invicta Animal Health has launched HaemoVet, a range of absorbable haemostats. 

HaemoVet haemostats are individually sterile packed in a variety of forms ranging from dental cubes, flex dressings and flowable powder. 

Invicta says the range is affordably priced with dental cubes costing £1 each, packaged in 24 individual blistered packs with a three-year shelf life.

Rob Watkins, Managing Director of Invicta, said: “Most practice staff are familiar with using absorbable haemostats in routine and emergency surgery.

"However, statistics show that just 17% use them regularly¹.

"Many staff cited price as a reason and this coupled with the rising costs of consumables spurred us to bring an affordable option to practices.”  

The HaemoVet range comprises of sponges, powders or flowable syringes of gelatin matrix designed to provide rapid and safe haemostasis².

For dental applications, there is also a sponge impregnated with colloidal silver.

Rob added:  “The HaemoVet range provides practices with a much more affordable option and are carefully packaged in individual sachets to avoid waste to make it the economic and environmental product of choice.”

HaemoVet is available from Invicta Animal Health, which will also give training and information on its use.
