Hemosponge Dental XL
it is a sterile, gelatin-based foam, intended for application to bleeding surfaces as a local hemostatic in surgical procedures whenever suturing, pressure or other conventional methods of control are either not possible to use it is too time-consuming.
It is widely used for arresting bleeding following tooth extraction. It may also be used in other oral surgeries and in areas where the small size of the sponge is an advantage, e.g., epistaxis.
How Hemosponge works:
The spongy structure of the Hemosponge provides a surface to thrombocytes oozing blood, enabling thrombocytes to release a series of substances and promoting self-aggregation. At the same time, it also makes thrombocytes act as a catalyst for the formation of fibrin, activating the cascade of blood coagulation.
