SURGIFOAM is a sterile water-soluble, porcine-based gelatin sponge wound dressing designed to be absorbed by the body. For hemostatic use, SURGIFOAM dressings should be applied directly to a bleeding surface, where it will integrate with the body over the next few days. This innovative sponge is specifically indicated for cases where traditional methods of controlling bleeding, such as pressure, ligature, or other conventional techniques, prove to be ineffective or impractical.

While not mandatory, the SURGIFOAM Sponge can also be combined with thrombin to enhance and expedite the hemostatic process, offering an extra layer of confidence during surgeries. Choose SURGIFOAM Sponge for reliable and adaptable hemostasis support in a variety of surgical scenarios.

SURGIFOAM Intended Use/Indication

SURGIFOAM gelatin sponge dressings can be used dry or first saturated with a sterile sodium chloride solution to assist with controlling bleeding and encouraging wound healing for:

• Surgical procedures (except ophthalmic) requiring hemostasis, control of capillary, venous and arteriolar bleeding by pressure, ligature or when other conventional procedures are ineffective or impractical.
  Thrombin to achieve hemostasis.
• Explain why the product is unique, what problem it solves, and how it compares to similar products on the market. Also, explain how the product can be used, and if relevant, what results the customer can expect.

SURGIFOAM Contraindications

• In conjunction with a skin incision, as it can affect how the wound’s edges heal.
• In intravascular areas, as this increases the risk for embolization.
• On patients with a known porcine allergy.
• To pack a wound cavity.
• Once the wound achieves hemostasis, any remaining SURGIFOAM material should be removed.
