Indications
It can be used in various surgical procedures involving haemostasis when the control of bleeding capillaries, veins and arterioles using pressure, ligature and other classical procedures is inefficient or impractical.

Properties

Easy to use and malleable: the haemostatic sponge can be cut to fit the bleeding area

As a macro-porous sponge, it is insoluble in water with a rapid absorption capacity equivalent to 40 to 50 times its weight in blood or other liquids

Biocompatible and non-pyrogenic: it offers good adhesion to the bleeding site promoting the formation of the fibrin network which is essential to efficient coagulation

Complete resorption in 3-4 weeks

Easy to store: the HYGITECH haemostatic sponge is offered in sterile blister packs of 10 or 32. Each individual sponge is 1x1x1cm
