Haemostatic gelatin special sponge, resorbable, 80x50x1mm, 10 pieces

SCROFALON is a compressed surgical haemostatic sponge, manufactured from highly purified neutral gelatin material exclusively from porcine origins for use in various surgical procedures. Where traditional hemostasis is difficult or impractical and use of other non-absorbable material is undesirable. SCROFALON absorbs approximately 40-50 times, its weight of water and adheres easily to the bleeding site. The uniform porosity of SCROFALON guarantees a favorable hemostasis. When implanted in vivo, it is completely absorbed in 3-4 weeks. SCROFALON is non-toxic, non-allergenic, non-immunogenic, non-pyrogenic and meets the biocompatibility requirements as per applicable EN ISO 10993 standards. Gelatin is a substantially pure protein food ingredient, obtained by the thermal denaturation of collagen, which are the structural mainstay and most common protein in the animal kingdom. Gelatin sponges have been used in clinical practice as hemostats for more than 50 years and been probe to be effective and safe as other types of hemostats. The size of the sponge is 80 x 50 x 1 mm. The set contains 10 pieces. SCROFALON Special: It is a dimensionally thinner gelatin sponge, well suited to be used when the space is very limited at the surgical site, for instance in the surgical procedures in otorhinolaryngology, laminectomy etc.
