Continuous oozing is the number one bleeding problem in the surgical operating rooms, occurring in more than 50% of all surgeries, across different specialties all over the world. SURGICEL® Powder Absorbable Hemostat, a Class III medical device, was developed to control broad continuous oozing efficiently and effectively in open or minimal invasive surgeries when ligation or other methods of bleeding control are not possible. This presentation will walk you through how the team brought a medical device to market, including identification of unmet needs, concept generations, new product development, commercialization, and teamwork.
