Background. Local hemostatics is well-established device to tackle a problem of surgical bleeding, but their properties in infected wounds are still the point of discussion. We present the results of the use of collagen sponge (22 cases) and Oxidized Regenerated Cellulose (10 cases) in surgical closure of infected wounds during routine surgical practice. Local hemostatics have been used only in cases of inconsistency of surgical methods of bleeding control. Results. Both used hemostatics allowed to achieve a robust control of surgical bleeding. We did not notice an influence of local hemostatics on the frequency and nature of post-surgery wound complications. © 2025 Media Sphera Publishing Group. All rights reserved.
