Surgispon Absorbable Haemostatic Gelatin Sponge
A GELATIN BASED SPONGE FOR QUICK & EFFECTIVE HAEMOSTASIS
SURGISPON® from Aegis Life Sciences is non-allergenic, non-immunogenic, non-toxic, and non- pyrogenic. It is already gamma-sterilised and is available in a convenient sterile blister/envelope without the need for special storage conditions. The uniform porosity of SURGISPON® guarantees a favourable haemostasis. When implanted in vivo, it is completely absorbed within <4 weeks, with no residue and encapsulation.

HOW IT WORKS
SURGISPON® is a geltain based sponge that adheres to the bleeding site and absorbs approximately 45 times of its own weight of blood. It has a porous structure which activates the thrombocytes at the moment blood comes in contact with the matrix of the sponge. This causes the thrombocytes to release a series of substances which promote their aggregation, enabling them to act as a catalyst for the formation of fibrin, which stops the bleeding. When implanted in tissue it is completely absorbed within <4 weeks.
KEY BENEFITS
- Saves surgical time
- Extremely cost effective
- Reduces post operative time and improves speed of patient recovery
- Gamma sterilized, ready to use & easy to cut
- Secure and speedy haemostasis
- Significantly reduces blood loss
- No reported side effects
- Does not interfere with tissue healing
- Leaves no residue and encapsulation
THROMBIN BASED SEALANT
Gelatin-thrombin combinations are very helpful in achieving faster haemostasis. It is particularly useful in neurosurgical application near the spine, in liver surgery where there is raw liver surface bleeding, and in vascular surgery where needle holes in PTFE grafts continue to ooze.
APPLICATION AREAS
SURGISPON® can be used for a wide range of surgical areas including: Neuro Surgery, Abdominal Surgery, Anorectal Surgery, ENT Surgery, Genito Urinary Surgery, Gynaecological Surgery, Orthopaedic Surgery, Otolaryngological Surgery, Vascular Surgery, Cardiovascular Surgery, Spinal Surgery, Hepatic Surgery and more.
SURGISPON® has a porous structure that enables high absorption of fluids and is effective in supporting the new graft in the outer ear canal after tympanoplasty while buttressing middle ear implants. It’s pH-neutral nature makes suitable for use with the antibiotics and other drugs.
Safe, No Complications
The postoperative period of 7 to 21 days can be passed without complications and no new bone formation. Easy removal of ENT gelatin sponges cubes.
User Friendly Application
Excellent processing abilities with very little pre-operative preparation. Simple application procedure.
Unsurpassed anti-adhesive and haemostatic
Due to their density, cubes stay longer in place and as such are suited to support and separate tissue, helping prevent adhesions and control bleeding.
SURGISPON® Anal Tampon is indicated for use in haemorrhoid operations and other surgical procedures in the anal, vaginal and rectal regions. It provides rapid haemostasis in anorectal surgeries while being suitable for post operative haemostasis. The anal tampon includes an opening into which a flatus drain can be introduced. The tampon easy expelled on first bowel movement, requiring no additional nursing intervention. Use of the gelatin sponge can potentially reduce patient in-hospital time by 4 days.
-Areas of Use:
Anorectal Surgery - to facilitate better post operative haemostasis.
-For Rapid Haemostasis Regarding:
Haemorrhoidectomies, anal fistula and fissures, Ccurettage and hysterectomies, surgery for rectal cancer, rectal prolapse, colorectal surgery, transrectal prostate needle biopsy.
-Vaginal Application
- Indicated for use in capillary, venous and arteriolar bleeding
- For fast and proven haemostasis for hard to reach areas and from oozing spongy bone
- Can be easily formed into any shape, according to surgical site
- Stops bleeding fast, within 2 minutes.
- No risk of encapsulation & completed bio-degraded within < 4 weeks
SURGISPON® powder can be applied dry in powder form, or as a paste mixed with saline solution. Different consistencies and grades of viscosity can be achieved by varying the powder-to-fluid ratio for optimum use on irregular structures such as bone, and for filling any cavity or fissure as required.
Surgeons and operating room staff benefit from the product's high flexibility, adaptability and easy handling.
SURGISPON® powder can be applied by hand or with a standard syringe to areas that are hard to reach. It is adhesive, especially when applied in sternotomy and craniotomy procedures, it is not known to cause bone dehiscence unlike conventional bone waxes.
