Spongostan presents the Haemorrhoidectomy Sponge, a sterile, absorbable sponge made from porcine gelatin designed for effective haemostasis during surgical procedures, excluding ophthalmic applications. This product is particularly valuable in scenarios where traditional methods of controlling capillary, venous, and arteriolar bleeding prove ineffective or impractical.
The sponge can be applied either dry or saturated with sterile sodium chloride solution, allowing for flexibility based on the surgical context. With an absorption time of four to six weeks, it provides a matrix that promotes platelet adhesion and aggregation, ensuring a reliable solution for bleeding management. Each box contains twenty sponges, making it convenient for surgical teams to maintain an adequate supply during procedures.
The water-insoluble nature of the sponge enhances its performance, as it remains malleable and easy to manipulate, which is crucial when addressing various bleeding sites. It is essential to store the sponges at controlled room temperature, ensuring they remain effective for their shelf life of four years.
The Spongostan Haemorrhoidectomy Sponge stands out as a practical choice for healthcare professionals seeking a dependable haemostatic agent in surgical settings, optimising patient outcomes and procedural efficiency.
