FDA Product Code MTJ: Wax, Bone
FDA product code MTJ covers bone wax used as a hemostatic agent during bone surgery.
This beeswax-based material is applied to bleeding bone surfaces to mechanically seal the intraosseous vessels in the bone marrow. It is used in craniotomy, sternotomy, and orthopedic procedures where conventional hemostatic techniques are insufficient for controlling bone bleeding.
