Bone wax is an inert, malleable material used as a hemostatic agent in treating surgical defects. Healing by secondary intention is an appropriate approach for certain situations in dermatologic surgery. When surgical wounds are deep enough for such tissues as bone or cartilage to be exposed, dressings may adhere to granulation tissue, making removal and subsequent wound care difficult and painful. In such cases bone wax can be molded around deep tissues to create an ideal occlusive, hemostatic microenvironment that facilitates second-intention wound healing.
骨蜡是一种惰性、可塑材料，在治疗手术缺损时用作止血剂。二期愈合是皮肤科手术中某些情况下的合适方法。当手术伤口足够深以至于骨头或软骨等组织暴露时，敷料可能会粘在肉芽组织上，导致移除和后续伤口护理困难且痛苦。在这种情况下，可以将骨蜡围绕深部组织塑形，以创造一个理想的封闭、止血微环境，促进二期伤口愈合。
