Surgifoam Absorbable Gelatin Sponge is a sterile, porcine-derived hemostatic sponge engineered for effective bleeding control during oral surgical procedures. Water-insoluble, malleable, and bioresorbable, it applies directly to bleeding surfaces to promote hemostasis without requiring post-operative removal. Available in two sizes to accommodate different clinical needs, Surgifoam absorbs up to 40 times its own weight in blood and fluid, delivering dependable performance with minimal chairside preparation.

Key Features:

• Porcine Gelatin Hemostatic Action: Applied directly to bleeding surfaces, the gelatin matrix absorbs blood and promotes clot formation, providing effective localized hemostasis throughout the surgical site.
• Absorbs Up to 40x Its Own Weight: High fluid absorption capacity ensures the sponge remains effective even in sites with active bleeding, maintaining contact with the wound surface throughout hemostasis.
• Bioresorbable with 4–6 Week Absorption: Fully absorbed by the body within 4–6 weeks, eliminating the need for post-operative retrieval and reducing patient discomfort associated with sponge removal.
• Sterile and Latex-Free: Supplied sterile and free of latex, supporting infection control compliance and safe use across patients with latex sensitivities.
• Easy to Handle and Compressible: The sponge's malleable consistency allows straightforward placement and compression into surgical sites, adapting reliably to irregular wound geometries without requiring cutting or reshaping.
• Individually Packaged (2 x 6 x 7 mm): The 12-pack oral sponge format features individual packaging for each unit, preventing cross-contamination between procedures and reducing material waste.
• Two Size Options: The 8 x 12.25 x 1 cm format is suited for broader surgical sites and socket coverage, while the 2 x 6 x 7 mm oral sponge is optimized for smaller extraction sites and confined intraoral applications.
