GelSpon Sterile Absorbable Gelatin Sponge is a highly effective surgical hemostat designed to control capillary, venous, and small arterial bleeding when conventional methods like pressure or suturing are insufficient. Made from high-grade pharmaceutical gelatin, this sponge acts as a physical matrix for clot formation, accelerating the body’s natural healing process. It is an indispensable tool for surgeons, dentists, and healthcare providers in India, offering a reliable solution for managing surgical wounds and ensuring patient safety during invasive procedures.

The standout feature of GelSpon is its remarkable versatility and biocompatibility. It can be used in its dry state or moistened with sterile saline or thrombin, depending on the clinical requirement. Because it is completely absorbable, the sponge is naturally broken down and digested by the body’s tissues within 4 to 6 weeks, eliminating the need for secondary removal procedures. Whether used in complex orthopedic surgeries, dental extractions, or general wound care, GelSpon provides a sterile, non-irritating, and highly porous structure that ensures rapid and effective hemostasis.

Benefits:

Rapid Hemostasis: Effectively stops bleeding within minutes by providing a mechanical framework for blood clotting.
Fully Absorbable: Naturally dissolves in the body over a few weeks, leaving no foreign residue behind.
Excellent Absorption: Can absorb up to 40-50 times its own weight in blood and fluids.
Highly Biocompatible: Non-toxic, non-allergenic, and non-immunogenic, making it safe for internal and external use.
Easy to Shape: Can be easily cut or compressed to fit the exact dimensions of the wound or surgical site.
