standard surgical techniques (such as suture, ligature, or cautery) is ineffective or impractical.
Contraindications
• Do not inject directly into the circulatory system. Intravascular application of EVICEL® may result in life-threatening thromboembolic events.
• Do not use in individuals known to have anaphylactic or severe systemic reaction to human blood products.
• Do not use for the treatment of severe or brisk arterial bleeding.
• Do not use EVICEL® for spraying in endoscopic or laparoscopic procedures where the minimum recommended distance from the applicator
tip to the target site cannot be ensured.
For complete indications, contraindications, warnings, precautions, and adverse reactions, please reference full
package insert.
021323-170803
INDICATIONS
GYNECARE INTERCEED Adhesion Barrier is indicated as an adjuvant in open (laparotomy) gynecologic pelvic surgery for reducing the
incidence of postoperative pelvic adhesions after meticulous hemostasis is achieved consistent with microsurgical principles.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
The use of GYNECARE INTERCEED Adhesion Barrier is contraindicated in the presence of frank infection. GYNECARE INTERCEED Adhesion
Barrier is not indicated as a hemostatic agent.
Appropriate means of achieving hemostasis must be employed.
WARNINGS
The safety and effectiveness of GYNECARE INTERCEED Adhesion Barrier in laparoscopic surgery or any procedures
other than open (laparotomy) gynecologic microsurgical procedures have not been established.
Postoperative adhesions may be induced by GYNECARE INTERCEED Adhesion Barrier application if adjacent tissues (eg, ovary and tube) and
structures are coapted or conjoined by the device, or if GYNECARE INTERCEED Adhesion Barrier is folded, wadded or layered. Care must be
taken to apply GYNECARE INTERCEED Adhesion Barrier in single layers, interposed between adjacent anatomic structures at risk for adhesion
formation.
Postoperative adhesions may occur in the presence of GYNECARE INTERCEED Adhesion Barrier if meticulous hemostasis is not achieved
prior to application. As with all foreign substances, GYNECARE INTERCEED Adhesion Barrier should not be placed in a contaminated surgical
site. Potentially contaminated surgical sites include hysterotomy following labor and/or prolonged rupture of membranes. The performance of
GYNECARE INTERCEED Adhesion Barrier at potentially contaminated surgical sites has not been determined.
PRECAUTIONS
Use only a single layer of GYNECARE INTERCEED Adhesion Barrier, since multiple layers of packing or folding will not enhance the adhesion
barrier characteristics and may interfere with the absorption rate of GYNECARE INTERCEED Adhesion Barrier. Care should be exercised in
applying GYNECARE INTERCEED Adhesion Barrier to a pelvic organ not to constrict or restrict it. If the product comes in contact with blood
prior to completing the procedure, it should be discarded, as fibrin deposition cannot be removed by irrigation and may promote adhesions
formation.
Ectopic pregnancies have been associated with fertility surgery of the female reproductive tract. No data exist to establish the effect, if any, of
GYNECARE INTERCEED Adhesion Barrier on the occurrence of ectopic pregnancies. No adequate studies have been conducted in women
who have become pregnant within the first month after exposure to GYNECARE INTERCEED Adhesion Barrier. No teratogenic studies have
been performed. Therefore, avoidance of conception should be considered during the first complete menstrual cycle after use of GYNECARE
INTERCEED Adhesion Barrier. The safety and effectiveness of using GYNECARE INTERCEED Adhesion Barrier in combination with other
adhesion prevention treatments have not been clinically established.
GYNECARE INTERCEED Adhesion Barrier is supplied sterile. As the material is not compatible with autoclaving or ethylene oxide sterilization,
GYNECARE INTERCEED Adhesion Barrier must not be resterilized.
Foreign body reactions may occur in some patients.
Interactions may occur between GYNECARE INTERCEED Adhesion Barrier and some drugs used at the surgical site.
Pathologists examining sites of GYNECARE INTERCEED Adhesion Barrier placement should be made aware of its usage and of the normal
cellular response to GYNECARE INTERCEED Adhesion Barrier ‘to facilitate proper evaluation of specimens'.
ADVERSE REACTIONS
The type and frequency of adverse events reported are consistent with events typically seen following surgery. Postsurgical adhesions may
occur in the presence of GYNECARE INTERCEED Adhesion Barrier.
For complete indications, contraindications, warnings, precautions, and adverse reactions, please reference full package insert.

The LINX device is considered MR Conditional in a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system up to either 0.7 Tesla (0.7T) or 1.5 Tesla (1.5T),
depending on the LINX model implanted. Scanning under different condition removed utilizing a laparoscopic technique that does not
compromise the option for traditional anti-reflux procedures. It is recommended that patients receiving the LINX device register their implant
with the MedicAlert Foundation (www.medicalert.org) or equivalent organization.
Failure to secure the LINX device properly may result in its subsequent displacement and necessitate a second operation.
Laparoscopic placement of the LINX device is major surgery and death can occur.
General Precautions
The LINX device is a long-term implant. Explant (removal) and replacement surgery may be indicated at any time. Management of adverse
reactions may include explantation and/or replacement.
The use of the LINX device in patients with a hiatal hernia larger than 3 cm should include hiatal hernia repair to reduce the hernia to less than
3 cm. The LINX device has not been evaluated in patients with an unrepaired hiatal hernia greater than 3 cm.
The safety and effectiveness of the LINX device has not been evaluated in patients with Barrett's esophagus or Grade C or D (LA classification)
esophagitis.
The safety and effectiveness of the LINX device has not been evaluated in patients with electrical implants such as pacemakers and
defibrillators, or other metallic, abdominal implants.
The safety and effectiveness of the LINX Reflux Management System has not been established for the following conditions:
• Scleroderma
• Suspected or confirmed esophageal or gastric cancer
• Prior esophageal or gastric surgery or endoscopic intervention
• Distal esophageal motility less than 35 mmHg peristaltic amplitude on wet swallows or <70% (propulsive) peristaltic sequences or High
Resolution Manometry equivalent, and/or a known motility disorder such as Achalasia, Nutcracker Esophagus, and Diffuse Esophageal Spasm
or Hypertensive LES
• Symptoms of dysphagia more than once per week within the last 3 months
• Esophageal stricture or gross esophageal anatomic abnormalities (Schatzki’s ring, obstructive lesions, etc.)
• Esophageal or gastric varices
• Lactating, pregnant or plan to become pregnant
• Morbid obesity (BMI >35)
• Age < 21
INDICATIONS
SURGICEL® Absorbable Hemostat (oxidized regenerated cellulose) is used adjunctively in surgical procedures to assist in the control of capillary,
venous, and small arterial hemorrhage when ligation or other conventional methods of control are impractical or ineffective. SURGICEL®
ORIGINAL, SURGICEL® FIBRILLAR™, SURGICEL® NU-KNIT®, and SURGICEL® SNoW™ Absorbable Hemostats can be cut to size for use in
endoscopic procedures.
PRECAUTIONS
Use only as much SURGICEL® Absorbable Hemostat as is necessary for hemostasis, holding it firmly in place until bleeding stops. Remove any
excess before surgical closure in order to facilitate absorption and minimize the possibility of foreign body reaction.
In urological procedures, minimal amounts of SURGICEL® Absorbable Hemostat should be used and care must be exercised to prevent
plugging of the urethra, ureter, or a catheter by dislodged portions of the product.
Since absorption of SURGICEL® Absorbable Hemostat could be prevented in chemically cauterized areas, its use should not be preceded by
application of silver nitrate or any other escharotic chemicals.
If SURGICEL® Absorbable Hemostat is used temporarily to line the cavity of large open wounds, it should be placed so as not to overlap the
skin edges. It should also be removed from open wounds by forceps or by irrigation with sterile water or saline solution after bleeding has
stopped.
Precautions should be taken in otorhinolaryngologic surgery to assure that none of the material is aspirated by the patient. (Examples:
controlling hemorrhage after tonsillectomy and controlling epistaxis.)
Care should be taken not to apply SURGICEL® Absorbable Hemostat too tightly when it is used as a wrap during vascular surgery (see Adverse
Reactions section of the complete product package insert).
ADVERSE EVENTS
“Encapsulation” of fluid and foreign body reactions have been reported.
There have been reports of stenotic effect when SURGICEL® Absorbable Hemostat has been applied as a wrap during vascular surgery.
Paralysis and nerve damage have been reported when SURGICEL® Absorbable Hemostat was used around, in, or in proximity to foramina in
bone, areas of bony confine, the spinal cord, and/or the optic nerve and chiasm.
Blindness has been reported in connection with surgical repair of a lacerated left frontal lobe when SURGICEL® Absorbable Hemostat was
placed in the anterior cranial fossa.
Possible prolongation of drainage in cholecystectomies and difficulty passing urine per urethra after prostatectomy have been reported.
For more information, please consult your doctor or for product quality and technical questions, call 1-800- 795-0012. For complete product
information including indications, contraindications, warnings, precautions, and adverse reactions, please reference the individual product
package inserts.

INDICATIONS
SURGICEL® Powder (oxidized regenerated cellulose) is used adjunctively in surgical procedures to assist in the control of capillary, venous, and
small arterial hemorrhage when ligation or other conventional methods of control are impractical or ineffective. SURGICEL® Powder can also be
applied in laparoscopic or other endoscopic procedures when used with the SURGICEL™ Endoscopic Applicator.
The SURGICEL™ Endoscopic Applicator is intended for use in delivering SURGICEL® Powder absorbable hemostat to bleeding surgical sites
through a 5 mm or larger trocar.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
• Do not inject or place SURGICEL® Powder into an open blood vessel. Do not use to treat bleeding from large defects in arteries or veins.
• SURGICEL® Powder should not be used to control hemorrhage from large arteries or veins.
• The SURGICEL® Powder and the SURGICEL™ Endoscopic Applicator devices were not designed for intraluminal procedures.
• When SURGICEL® Powder is used to help achieve hemostasis in, around, or in proximity to foramina in bone, areas of bony confine, the spinal
cord, or the optic nerve and chiasm, it must always be removed after hemostasis is achieved since it will swell and could exert unwanted
pressure.
• SURGICEL® Powder should not be used for implantation in bone defects, such as fractures, since there is a possibility of interference with
callus formation and a theoretical chance of cyst formation.
WARNINGS
• SURGICEL® Powder is not intended for use on dry (non-bleeding) surfaces or for prevention of bleeding.
• Closing with SURGICEL® Powder in a contaminated wound without drainage may lead to complications and should be avoided.
• SURGICEL® Powder should not be impregnated with anti-infective agents or with other materials such as buffering or hemostatic substances.
• SURGICEL® Powder is dry and there may be difficulties in precise delivery under certain circumstances. Unintentional device placement may
result in powder scattering and device migration that may increase the risk of adhesion formation. In preclinical in vivo animal studies it was
demonstrated that SURGICEL® Powder does not increase the incidence of remote adhesions in laparoscopic procedures.
• Although SURGICEL® Powder is bactericidal against a wide range of pathogenic microorganisms, it is not intended as a substitute for
systemically administered therapeutic or prophylactic antimicrobial agents to control or to prevent postoperative infections.
• To prevent clogging with the SURGICEL™ Endoscopic Applicator Tip, do not touch the tip to wet surface. Be careful to avoid damaging tissue
with the rigid tip.
• Do not attempt to trim the applicator tip. Replace the tip if it becomes clogged.
PRECAUTIONS
• SURGICEL® Powder should not be used in conjunction with autologous blood salvage circuits, because its fragments may pass through the
transfusion filters of blood-scavenging systems.
• Use only as much SURGICEL® Powder (oxidized regenerated cellulose) as is necessary and apply only where needed for hemostasis. Remove
any excess before surgical closure in order to facilitate absorption and to minimize the possibility of foreign body reaction.
• Use minimal amount of SURGICEL® Powder required to achieve hemostasis, and remove excess powder in the area of drains to prevent
clogging. In urological procedures, minimal amounts of SURGICEL® Powder should be used and care must be exercised to prevent plugging
of the urethra, ureter, or a catheter by dislodged portions of the product.
• Since absorption of SURGICEL® Powder could be prevented in chemically cauterized areas, its use should not be preceded by application of
silver nitrate or any other escharotic chemicals.
• If SURGICEL® Powder is used temporarily to line the cavity of open wounds, it should be removed by irrigation with sterile water or saline
solution after bleeding has stopped.
• Precautions should be taken in otorhinolaryngologic surgery to ensure that none of the material is aspirated by the patient (e.g., controlling
hemorrhage after tonsillectomy and controlling epistaxis).
ADVERSE EVENTS
• Paralysis and nerve damage have been reported when other SURGICEL® products were used around, in, or in proximity to foramina in bone,
areas of bony confine, the spinal cord, and/or the optic nerve and chiasm.
• Blindness has been reported in connection with surgical repair of a lacerated left frontal lobe when other SURGICEL® products were placed in
the anterior cranial fossa (see WARNINGS and PRECAUTIONS).
• Foreign body reactions have been reported with other products from the SURGICEL® Family of Absorbable Hemostats.
• Burning has been reported when other SURGICEL® products were applied after nasal polyp removal. Headache, burning, stinging, and
sneezing in epistaxis and other rhinological procedures, and stinging when SURGICEL® product was applied on surface wounds (varicose
ulcerations, dermabrasions, and donor sites) have also been reported.
• For more information and technical questions, call 1-800-795-0012. For complete information including indications, contraindications,
warnings, precautions, adverse reactions, and directions for use, consult the product package insert.
