CuraSpon

CuraSpon® is a sterile absorbable gelatin sponge with haemostatic effect suitable for the control of bleeding.

CuraSpon® is manufactured from highly purified neutral gelatin foam of uniform fine porosity which guarantees a favourable homeostasis. The gelatin sponge activates the thrombocytes at the moment blood comes in contact with the matrix of the sponge. This causes thrombocytes to release a series of substances which promote their aggregation at the same time as their surfaces change character, thus enabling them to act
as a catalyst for the formation of fibrin.

 

CuraSpon® provides haemostasis in surgical procedures to control capillary, venous and small arterial bleeding when binding, suturing or other conventional methods of control are impractical or ineffective.

CuraSpon® can be applied dry or moistened with sterile physiological saline. CuraSpon® is pressed against the bleeding site and within a short time it will adhere to the wound and control the bleeding. It is recommended to remove any excess CuraSpon® material from the operative field.
