Description
Sponge, Gelfoam, #100, 20X60cm is a sterile, absorbable surgical sponge made from purified pork skin gelatin. The sponge is designed to help control bleeding during surgical procedures by providing a matrix for the formation of a blood clot. The sponge is non-toxic, non-immunogenic, and biocompatible, making it a safe and effective option for use in a wide range of surgical procedures.
The sponge is supplied in a size of 20x60cm, with a thickness of #100, which is equivalent to 1.0-1.4mm. This presentation allows for the sponge to be easily cut and shaped to fit the needs of the surgical procedure. The sponge is easy to handle and can be rehydrated with saline or sterile water to aid in its placement and adherence to tissue.
Gelfoam sponge works by forming a mechanical barrier that promotes platelet aggregation and activation of the coagulation cascade.

This eliminates the need for removal, reducing the risk of complications and improving patient comfort.
