Description
Gelfoam 2x6 Sponge is a sterile, compressed, and pliable surgical sponge designed to control bleeding during surgical or medical procedures. Made from specially treated and purified gelatin, it is capable of absorbing and retaining several times its weight in whole blood. The sponge measures 2 cm x 6 cm x 7 mm, providing a suitable size for various applications.
When implanted in tissues, the Gelfoam Sponge promotes hemostasis without inducing excessive scar formation. It is fully absorbed within four to six weeks after implantation, minimizing the need for additional removal procedures. This biodegradable nature makes it ideal for use in surgeries where absorption of the material is preferred for patient recovery and comfort.
When applied to bleeding mucosal areas such as nasal, rectal, or vaginal tissues, Gelfoam liquefies entirely within two to five days. This ensures effective bleeding control while reducing the risk of foreign body reactions. Its quick absorption and non-toxic nature make it safe and reliable for delicate applications.
