Surgispon Gelatin Sponge Cubes 10x10x10 mm, PK/32

SURGISPON® is a sterile hemostatic absorbable gelatin sponge, predominantly used in surgical settings for its effective blood-absorbing capabilities. This product is crafted from pure pharmaceutical gelatine, essentially lyophilized hydrolyzed collagen, which ensures its high-quality and uniformity. The material is processed into a foam-like structure, providing it with a consistent porosity. This characteristic is crucial for its intended medical use, as it allows for efficient absorption of fluids.

Manufacturing Process

The production of SURGISPON® involves a meticulous process. The hydrolyzed collagen is transformed into a dried foam, which is then precisely cut into sponges of appropriate sizes. To ensure sterility and safety, these sponges are sterilized using gamma radiation. This method of sterilization is chosen for its effectiveness in eliminating potential contaminants without compromising the integrity of the sponge's material.

Usage and Benefits

SURGISPON® is designed for immediate use in surgical environments. It does not require additional sterilization procedures like dry heat or autoclaving, which saves valuable time in operating theatres. One of the key attributes of SURGISPON® is its remarkable absorption capacity – it can absorb 40 to 50 times its own weight. This feature is particularly beneficial in managing bleeding during surgical procedures, thereby reducing both surgical and anesthetic time significantly.
