Description:
SURGISPON® is a sterile hemostatic absorbable gelatin sponge made of pure pharmaceutical gelatine (lyophilized hydrolyzed collagen) foam, which gives it a uniform porosity & reacts neutrally. The dried foam is cut, packaged and sterilized using gamma radiation. SURGISPON® is immediately available for use in the operating theatre and does not require any sterilization by dry heat or autoclaving.
 
Indications:
SURGISPON can be effectively used in various surgeries for
haemostasis, when control of capillary, venous and arteriolar bleeding
by pressure, ligature and other conventional procedures is ineffective
or impractical.
Advantages:
Fast and effective
Absorbs 40-50 times of its own weight
Saves valuable surgical and anesthetic time
 
HOW to use SURGISPON® Dental
Soak the cube in sterile saline solution or use dry.
 
If used dry, the sponge is slightly compressed. The sponges must be applied to a bleeding area under light pressure for one or two minutes until the bleeding stops.
If used wet, withdraw SURGISPON® cubes and squeeze thoroughly between gloved fingers to expel air bubbles, replace in saline and keep there until needed.
When bleeding is controlled, the cubes can be left in situ.
