The COUTANSPON Haemostatic Sponge is a sterile, absorbable gelatin sponge designed to assist in the rapid control of bleeding during surgical and medical procedures. Made from purified medical-grade absorbable gelatin, this hemostatic sponge promotes clot formation by providing a supportive matrix for platelet aggregation, helping to achieve effective hemostasis when conventional methods such as pressure or ligation are impractical or insufficient.
Highly porous and capable of absorbing many times its weight in blood and body fluids, the sponge expands gently to conform to the wound cavity, providing localized bleeding control while being gradually absorbed by the body over time. In most cases, it does not require surgical removal when used appropriately.
The COUTANSPON Absorbable Gelatin Sponge is widely used across various surgical specialties, including general surgery, orthopedics, neurosurgery, gynecology, urology, ENT, oral and maxillofacial surgery, and dental procedures. It is also suitable for controlling capillary, venous, and small arterial bleeding during operative procedures.
Sterile, biocompatible, and easy to trim to the desired size, COUTANSPON offers surgeons a reliable hemostatic solution that supports efficient surgical workflow and improved patient care.
