Features & Benefits:

  • GELFOAM Sterile Sponge is a medical device intended for application to bleeding surfaces as a hemostatic.
  • It is a water-insoluble, off-white, nonelastic, porous, pliable product prepared from purified pork Skin Gelatin NF Granules and Water for Injection, USP.
  • It may be cut without fraying and is able to absorb and hold within its interstices, many times its weight of blood and other fluids.
  • GELFOAM Sterile Sponge has hemostatic properties.
  • While its mode of action is not fully understood, its effect appears to be more physical than the result of altering the blood clotting mechanism.
  • When not used in excessive amounts, GELFOAM is absorbed completely, with little tissue reaction. This absorption is dependent upon several factors, including the amount used, degree of saturation with blood or other fluids, and the site of use.
  • When placed in soft tissues, GELFOAM is usually absorbed completely within four to six weeks, without inducing excessive scar tissue. When applied to bleeding nasal, rectal, or vaginal mucosa, it liquefies within two to five days.
  • Direction For Use:

  • GELFOAM Sterile Sponge can be used either dry or saturated with sterile saline or thrombin solution.
  • Prior to GELFOAM Sterile Sponge application, the target bleeding site should be visualized if feasible.
  • Use only the minimum amount of GELFOAM Sterile Sponge necessary to produce hemostasis.
  • The first application of GELFOAM Sterile Sponge will usually control bleeding.

Application:

  • HEMOSTASIS: GELFOAM Sterile Sponge, used dry or saturated with sterile sodium chloride solution, is indicated in surgical procedures as a hemostatic device, when control of capillary, venous, and arteriolar bleeding by pressure, ligature, and other conventional procedures is either ineffective or impractical. Although not necessary, GELFOAM can be used either with or without thrombin to obtain hemostasis.
