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)
Tableau Wax®
Bone Wax
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.
