Suruwax is a Bone wax, which is sterile, non-absorbable mixture of beeswax and softening agents like paraffin wax and isopropyl palmitate and used primarily to control bleeding from bone surfaces during various surgical procedures, including orthopedic, neurological, and thoracic surgeries. It functions as a mechanical barrier, sealing off small blood vessels in bone to prevent hemorrhage. Bone wax also has niche uses in preventing cerebrospinal fluid leakage and promoting healing of deep wounds. 
 
When to be used:
Hemostasis: 
During bone-cutting procedures, bleeding from small vessels in the bone tissue (osseous hemorrhage) can be difficult to control. Bone wax is applied to these surfaces to create a seal, stopping the bleeding. 
 
Sealing: 
In some neurosurgical procedures, like skull base repairs, bone wax can be used to seal bony defects and prevent the leakage of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). 
 
Wound healing: 
For deep wounds where tissues like bone are exposed, bone wax can be used to create an occlusive environment that encourages wound healing. 
 
Types of surgeries where it is used:
Orthopedic surgery: 
To control bleeding after fractures or during procedures like total hip arthroplasty. 
 
Neurosurgery: 
To seal cranial bone defects and control bleeding from venous channels during craniotomy. 
 
Thoracic surgery: 
To manage bleeding from the sternum or other bony structures. 
 
Dental and maxillofacial surgery: 
To stop bleeding during procedures such as fracture correction and implant placement. 
 
Important Considerations:
Temporary barrier: 
Bone wax is a mechanical barrier, not a wound healing agent itself. It provides a temporary seal, allowing for natural healing processes to take over. 
 
Careful application: 
Surgeons should only use the minimum amount of bone wax necessary and only for the time required to achieve hemostasis.
 
Features - 
Barrier to control bleeding from bone injury
sterile mixture of bees wax, paraffin wax and isopropyl palmitate
Used for the mechanical hemostasis in bone during injury /surgery. SURUWAX® helps local haemostasis by functioning like a mechanical barrier (tamponade).
Wax is Bio-chemically inert and non-absorbable
Soft nature ensures excellent malleability
Smooth consistency enables easy application
Only a small amount is required to reach hemostasis
It is compatible with body tissues, does not induce skin irritation or any allergic reactions.
Bone Wax needs to be packed with Aluminium / Aluminium foils because it is waxy in nature and also to retain its original structure.
