Abstract

The term stem flap refers to a technique that transfers skin, and sometimes muscle or fat, from one area to another. This transferred tissue can be used for breast reconstruction or to cover complex wounds.Feracrylum, a water-soluble combination of partial ferrous salts (II and III) of polyacrylic acid, is one of the chemical hemostatic agents and an antibacterial agent. Its molecular weight ranges from 500,000 to 800,000 Daltons, which prevents systemic absorption and prevents any negative effects on the liver, kidney, adrenals, cardiovascular, or hemostatic systems. Feracrylum has antibacterial properties, which lowers the risk of wound infection. In this article we are trying to evaluate hemostatic and antibacterial properties of feracrylum.
