Which device is indicated for topical wound indications rather than surgical hemostasis?

• A. Arista AH.
• B. Hemaderm ENT.
• C. Both.
• D. Neither.

Answer: (B)

The key idea is choosing a product that is intended for healing a wound surfaced on tissue, not for stopping bleeding during surgery. Hemaderm ENT is a topical wound dressing designed to support wound care—covering and protecting a wound, maintaining a moist environment, and aiding healing in ENT-related skin or mucosal wounds. It isn’t meant to control intraoperative bleeding.

In contrast, Arista AH is a hemostatic agent used to achieve surgical hemostasis; its role is to help stop bleeding during procedures, not to serve as a wound dressing for topical care after surgery.

Therefore, the device best suited for topical wound indications is Hemaderm ENT.
