Absorbable Haemostatic Gelatin Sponge Spongostan

• It is applied to the site of bleeding and absorbs approximately 40 times its weight.
• Due to its uniform porous composition, blood platelets are immediately absorbed, causing a stoppage and cessation of bleeding.
• It does not cause any harmful tissue reaction or any hypersensitivity reaction during its use.
• Its advantage is the ability to be used simultaneously with antibiotics, chemotherapeutic drugs or antithrombotic agents without any reduction in the hemostatic effect of its sponge.
• It is a local hemostatic sponge for use in surgical procedures involving venous bleeding and begins to drip where traditional hemostasis is difficult or impractical and when the use of non-absorbable materials is undesirable.
