Abstract
An applicator for applying a hemostatic agent for use in achieving hemostasis in surgery comprises an absorbent material which has an attached removal string and radiopaque localizer, and a mass of hemostatic agent interengaged with the material on at least one side. In the disclosed embodiment, the applicator is used by applying the material and hemostatic agent against an open, broken, bone surface, which is oozing blood. The hemostatic agent on the material is forced into the porous, bleeding bone to stop the bleeding, and the material is then removed and discarded. Hemostatic agents applied in this manner allow hemostasis of various oozing tissues. A device for holding a plurality of applicators is also described. The device is a module constructed to engage with the top edge of a conventional surgical tray.
