SURGIFOAM is a sterile water-soluble, porcine-based gelatin sponge wound dressing designed to be absorbed by the body. For hemostatic use, SURGIFOAM dressings should be applied directly to a bleeding surface, where it will integrate with the body over the next few days. This innovative sponge is specifically indicated for cases where traditional methods of controlling bleeding, such as pressure, ligature, or other conventional techniques, prove to be ineffective or impractical.
While not mandatory, the SURGIFOAM Sponge can also be combined with thrombin to enhance and expedite the hemostatic process, offering an extra layer of confidence during surgeries. Choose SURGIFOAM Sponge for reliable and adaptable hemostasis support in a variety of surgical scenarios.
