What is
AMP™ Technology
?
AMP™ (Absorbable Modified Polymer) particles
are polysaccharide polymers synthesized from purified plant
starch through multiple, proprietary modification
processes.
Is AMP™ safe?
AMP™ particles contain no animal or human
components and are absorbable, biocompatible and
non-pyrogenic. Isolated starch allergies are directly related
to the protein content in starch, which is virtually
non-existent in AMP™ particles. Absorption normally requires
several days and is dependent on the amount of material
applied and the site of use. AMP™ particles are degraded by histaminases,
including amylase and glucoamylase. Starch Medical
products contain no latex.
What Products have
been developed with AMP™Technology?
-
PerClot™ PHS is
a polysaccharide
hemostatic system derived from plant
sources and processed into AMP™ particles. PerClot™ has multiple delivery systems for open, laparoscopic and endoscopic surgical procedures.
-
Perclot™ Laparoscopic is a hemostatic system designed for applications in minimally invasive surgical procedures.
-
SealFoam™ is a polysaccharide hemostatic absorbable foam.
Where are the
Products available?
PerClot™, Perclot™ Laparoscopic and SealFoam™ are CE marked
for sale in the European Union and other nations which accept
CE regulatory approval. These products are not FDA approved
for distribution in the USA.
What are the
indications for PerClot™, Perclot™ Laparoscopic and SealFoam™?
PerClot™, Perclot™ Laparoscopic and SealFoam™ are indicated for use in surgical
procedures or injuries as an adjunct hemostat when control of
bleeding from capillary, venous, or arteriolar vessels by
pressure, ligature, and other conventional means is either
ineffective or impractical.
