Goodwill Hemosponge 20x20x7mm Absorbable Gelatin Sponge

Description

Hemosponge DENTAL XL

HEMOSPONGE is a sterile, gelatin-based foam, intended for application to bleeding surfaces as a local hemostatic in surgical procedures whenever suturing, pressure or other conventional methods of control are either not possible to use it is too time-consuming.

It is widely used for arresting bleeding following tooth extraction. It may also be used in other oral surgeries and in areas where the small size of the sponge is an advantage, e.g., epistaxis.

How Hemosponge works:

The spongy structure of the Hemosponge provides a surface to thrombocytes oozing blood, enabling thrombocytes to release a series of substances and promoting self-aggregation. At the same time, it also makes thrombocytes act as a catalyst for the formation of fibrin, activating the cascade of blood coagulation.

Key Features

• Effectively stop all kinds of oozing blood (capillary, parenchymal, or arteriovenous).
• Can hold around 35 – 40 times its own weight of blood/body fluids within its matrix.
• pH neutral and can be impregnated with a wide variety of pharmaceuticals/biologics.
• Manufactured from highly purified gelatin (collagen-derived protein).
• Non-toxic, non-allergic, and biocompatible.
• Liquefies within 3 – 4 days when placed in the mucosal cavity.
• Completely biodegradable (metabolized by proteolytic enzymes) and absorb in the body within 4-6 weeks when placed in tissues.
• Manufactured in HEPA-filtered clean rooms with environmentally and microbiologically monitored air.
• Sterilized by gamma irradiation after final packaging to destroy any microorganisms without negatively affecting the physical properties of the product.
• Double-packed for assurance of sterility.
• Supplied in the form of READY-TO-USE. No need to resterilize the product before its use.
• Complies with US Pharmacopoeia standards.

Directions for Use

• Always use an aseptic technique to remove the sterile sponge from its packaging. Avoid contacting the product to the outer part of the packaging and other nonsterile area. The product should either be removed with the help of sterile forceps from its packaging or it needs to drop freely into the sterile place.
• For use at the site of application, either uses the intact sponge or cut the sponge to the desired size. It can be applied dry or wet depending on conditions present at the operation and the preference of the surgeon.
• When applied dry, a piece of HEMOSPONGE should be manually compressed before application to the bleeding site and then held in the bleeding site for a few minutes with moderate pressure till hemostasis is observed.
• When used wet (generally with sterile saline) HEMOSPONGE should be first immersed in the sterile saline and then withdrawn, squeezed between gloved fingers to remove all air bubbles, and then again placed in sterile saline till its use. The sponge should return to its original size and shape in the saline. If it does not, it should be removed again and kneaded between fingers vigorously until all air is expelled and should expand to its original size and shape when returned to the saline. At the time of use, HEMOSPONGE is blotted on sterile gauze to remove excess saline. The HEMOSPONGE should be held in the bleeding site with moderate pressure using a pledget of cotton or small gauze until hemostasis results. Removal of the pledget or gauze is made easier by wetting it with a few drops of saline, to prevent pulling up the HEMOSPONGE which by then should enclose a firm clot.
• The first application of HEMOSPONGE will usually control bleeding, but if not, additional applications may be made using fresh pieces, prepared as described above.
