Here’s a video we found describing a new product to help the c section incision heal better. It’s the kind of thing we find interesting and worth bringing to your attention. There are many ways to make the recovery and healing process from cesarean delivery easier and faster, and all c section moms should know about all of them and have them as options.
The product is called Vitagel. Vitagel Surgical Hemostat is a FDA approved Class III medical device used to control bleeding and facilitate healing while utilizing the patient’s own biology. Vitagel is the only product of its kind to combine microfibrillar collagen and thrombin in combination with the patient’s own plasma (fibrinogen and platelets). This combination produces an effective and safe hemostat by forming a collagen/fibrin scaffold with platelets. Vitagel has been shown to be effective in controlling bleeding during orthopaedic, cardiac, hepatic and general surgical procedures.
You can see the FDA approval page information here.
