What is the typical absorption profile of Arista AH?

• A. It is non-absorbable.
• B. It is non-absorbable and permanently stays in tissue.
• C. It dissolves rapidly.
• D. It is absorbable and gradually resorbed by the body during healing; exact timing varies by patient and site.

Answer: (D)

Arista AH is designed to be an absorbable hemostatic agent, meaning it supports clotting during healing and is gradually resorbed by the body rather than staying in tissue. It is not non-absorbable, nor does it dissolve all at once; the resorption happens gradually as healing progresses, with the exact timing varying by the patient and the surgical site. This is why the best description is that it is absorbable and gradually resorbed during healing, with timing that depends on individual factors.
