Description
The GELFOAM 12-7MM SPONGE 12/BX is a medical-grade sponge designed to provide effective hemostasis in a variety of surgical procedures. The sponge is made from a water-insoluble, non-elastic, and non-woven gelatin material, which is highly absorbent and can hold up to 40 times its weight in fluid.
Each box of GELFOAM 12-7MM SPONGE contains 12 individual sponges, each measuring 12-7mm in size. The sponges are sterile and ready to use, making them a convenient and reliable option for any medical facility. The GELFOAM 12-7MM SPONGE is suitable for use in a range of surgical specialities, including cardiovascular, orthopedic, and general surgery. It is particularly useful in procedures where bleeding is difficult to control, such as those involving highly vascularized tissue.
The sponge works by forming a mechanical barrier to blood flow, which promotes the formation of a clot and helps to control bleeding. It is also biodegradable and gradually absorbed by the body over time, eliminating the need for removal. Overall, the GELFOAM 12-7MM SPONGE 12/BX is an effective and reliable tool for managing bleeding during surgical procedures. Its high absorbency, convenient size, and easy-to-use design make it an excellent choice for any medical professional looking for a hemostatic solution.
