What is Tableau Wax 

• Immediate control of bleeding from bone surfaces by functioning as a mechanical barrier.
• A sterile mixture of bio-absorbable synthetic copolymers.
• Soft, easy to form and apply.

What are its benefits?

• No inhibition of bone healing and normal osteogenesis due to its bioabsorption.
• No beeswax compositions which induce a inhibition of osteogenesis on the defect site.
• To avoid the inflammation with bees wax.
• Tableau wax dissolves completely from the site of application within 4 to 48 hours and then completely excreted from the body which means that there is nothing left of the hemostat to inhibit bone healing or induce inflammation.

How to use 

• Tableau wax is very easy to apply and requires no mixing.
• Simply warm by kneading in the dry , sterile gloved hand and then apply by pressing into the bone. It should be applied to a thickness of 1 to 2 mm.

Evidence from in vivo study

• Rat calvaria defect model (SD rats, Male, Total n=108)
• Immediate hemostasis was achieved within 10 sec. after application as opposed to the control (p<0.05)

• Bioabsorption: No observation on the site after 3 days of application but bone wax remained in the defect until 12 weeks (p<0.01)

• Bone healing: significantly more quantitative osteogenesis than the bone wax group (p<0.01)

• Histological analysis: bones that grow inside the defect margins of Tableau wax show osteoblast activity (black arrow) with well-mineralized bones (pink area) using H&E stain.
