VETSPON®
Absorbable Hemostatic Gelatin Sponge
VETSPON helps insure positive surgical outcomes by providing an effective,
quick and easy to use hemostasis product to stop oozing bleeding during
surgical procedures.
Introduction
VETSPON® Absorbable Hemostatic Gelatin Sponge
Veterinary exclusive absorbable sponge indicated for hemostasis in
surgical procedures when control of bleeding by pressure, ligature or
other conventional procedures is ineffective or impractical.
VETSPON Absorbable Gelatin Sponges are:
• Sterile
• Water-insoluble
• Malleable
VETSPON can be cut to desired size and shape and
applied to the bleeding site either dry or saturated with
sterile saline.
Hemostasis
Benefits of Quick and Effective Hemostasis
• Minimizes blood loss
• Allows a dry, clearly visible surgical field
• Saves valuable surgical and anesthesia time
• Longer surgery/anesthesia time = increased surgical
and post surgical morbidity, longer recovery
Hemostasis
Benefits of Quick Hemostasis:
Minimizing blood loss –
• increases the surgical speed
• decreases anesthetic time and monitoring
• can improve recovery time for the patient
By stopping oozing bleeding, VETSPON® increases the visibility and
provides a "clear" area for surgery for the surgeon.
Activity
• The porosity enables it to absorb 45 times its
weight in blood.
• As it fills with blood the platelets and fibrin collect
and form a blood clot.
• The gelatin sponge has no intrinsic hemostatic
action. (does not activate clotting cascade)
Indications
VERY BROAD INDICATION:
VETSPON is a local hemostatic sponge for use in surgical procedures
when venous and oozing bleeding occur and where traditional
hemostasis is difficult or impractical (except urologic and ophthalmic
procedures).
VETSPON can be used dry or moistened with sterile saline. It can be
cut into the desired shape and size. Some contra-indications,
warnings and precautions do exist – please see the IFU (Instructions
For Use) for further information. VETSPON is absorbed in 4-6 weeks.
