Haemostatic Agents

SURGISPON®

SURGISPON® Absorbable Hemostatic Gelatin Sponge is a quick and effective hemostatic which stops bleeding fast. It reduces intra operative bleeding and surgery time. SURGISPON® is non-toxic, non-allergenic, non-immunogenic, and non- pyrogenic. SURGISPON® is already gamma-sterilized, and thus does not need to be resterilized. It is available in a convenient, ready to tear sterile blister/envelope, SURGISPON® unlike many haemostatic agents, does not require special storage conditions. The uniform porosity of SURGISPON® guarantees a favourable haemostasis. When implanted in vivo, it is completely absorbed within 3-4 weeks, with no residue and no encapsulation.

 

HOW IT WORKS

SURGISPON® 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 at the same time as their surfaces change character, thus enabling them to act as a catalyst for the formation of the fibrin, which stops the bleeding. When implanted in the tissues, it is absorbed within 3-4 weeks.

   

KEY BENEFITS

SURGISPON® fulfils the surgical need for haemostasis with simple efficiency:

  • Saves Valuable time for surgeons
  • Reduces post operative time and fastens recovery time for the patient
  • Gamma Sterile and ready to use
  • Easy to cut according to need
  • Secure and speedy haemostasis
  • Significantly reduces blood loss
  • Absorbs 40-50 times its own weight of water/oxalate blood
  • No reported side effects
  • Does not interfere with tissue healing
  • Leaves no residue and encapsulation
  • Extremely Cost effective

APPLICATION AREAS

    • AS A HAEMOSTATIC IN SURGERY

Abdominal Surgery | Anorectal Surgery | Dental Surgery | ENT surgery | Genito Urinary Surgery | Gynaecological Surgery | Hysterectomy | Neuro Surgery | Orthopaedic Surgery | Otolaryngological Surgery | Paral Nephrectomy | Plasc Surgery | Vascular Surgery

    • AS A SEALANT WITH THROMBIN

Gelatin-thrombin combinations are very helpful in achieving hemostasis It is particularly useful in neurosurgical applications 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.

    • VEHICLE FOR OTHER DRUGS

SURGISPON® is also used as a vehicle for other drugs / antibiotics such as penicillin.

 

Ordering Information

SURGISPON® ANAL TAMPON

  • Quick haemostasis in anorectal surgeries
  • Best suitable for post operative haemostasis
  • Painless and easy tampon discharge

BENEFITS / ADVANTAGES

Surgispon® anal reduces post-operative pains more effectively than other known forms of anal tampons.

  • High absorption capacity – up to 50 times of its own weight.
  • Surgispon® anal gelatine sponge liquefies rapidly and is spontaneously expelled within 1 to 2 days.
  • Used as a carrier for drugs like antibiotics, thrombin and haemostats glue.
  • The gelatin sponge application can save up to 4 days of hospital stay for each rectal patient.
  • Significantly increases hemostasis without increasing pain and discomfort.
  • The immediate insertion of an absorbable hemostatic gelatin sponge can reduce the frequency of rectal bleeding.

FEATURES

  • Non-toxic
  • Non allergenic
  • Non-immunogenic
  • Non-pyrogenic
  • Biocompatible
  • It has a non-water-soluble property
  • Attaches to the bleeding tissue
  • Used dry or soaked with physiological solutionell adhering ability to the bleeding site
  • Implantable and completely resorbable
  • Does not stick to instruments

Surgispon® is manufactured from highly purified & ph neutral pharmaceutical gelatin foam of uniform porosity.

Surgispon® is single use & gamma sterilised absorbable haemostatic gelatin sponge.

Surgispon® anal is used in haemorrhoid operations and other surgical procedures in the anal, vaginal and rectal regions

Painless and easy tampon discharge. The surgispon®is easy expelled at first bowel movement, requiring no additional nursing intervention.

WHERE TO USE

  • Anorectal surgery – suitable to better facilitate post operative haemostasis.
  • To achieve fast hemostasis in :
  • Haemorrhoidectomies.
  • Anal fistula and fissures.
  • Curettage and Hysterectomies.
  • Surgery for rectal cancer.
  • Rectal prolapse.
  • Colorectal surgery.
  • Insertion into rectum after transrectal prostate needle biopsy, for haemostasis

HOW TO USE

  • For rectal application?
    In anal and rectal surgery, introduce a dry anal tampon with the help of a proctoscope at the end of the surgical procedure.
  • Place dry gauze in the rima natis. The buttocks must be held together by means of a T bandage.
  • Bacterial invasion ensures the rapid dissolution of the sponge which softens and is spontaneously removed by defecation.
  • The Surgispon® Tampon is provided with an opening into which a flatus drain can be introduced.

After performing excision of hemorrhoidal piles , the operation is terminated by placing hemo- static absorbable gelatin sponge tampon in the anal canal.
