 Curaspon® is a sterile absorbable gelatin sponge with haemostatic effect suitable for the control of bleeding. Curaspon® is manufactured from highly purified neutral gelatin foam of uniform porosity, exclusively from porcine origins. The dried gelatine foam is tested according to USP, cut, packed and sterilised with gamma irradiation. The uniform porosity of the gelatin sponge guarantees a favourable haemostasis. Gelatin sponges have been used in clinical practice as haemostat for more than 50 years. Over this period of time the product has been proven to be effective and safe and its haemostatic effect is as efficient as other types of absorbable haemostats. Curaspon® may be used in practically all forms of surgery procedures. lt is particularly advantageous where a venous or diffuse oozing haemorrhage can not be controlled by traditional means. The sponges are produced from specially selected raw pharmaceutical gelatin (pork skin origin), which is a well-known implant material. After foaming and drying the sponges are cut to the desired sizes, packaged in a class 10.000 clean room facility after which the product is gamma sterilized. When Curaspon® is applied to bleeding skin surfaces; it completely liquefies within 3 to 5 days. When Curaspon® is implanted into the organism, it is completely absorbed in approximately 3 to 4 weeks. Reports have shown no abnormalities of the product, and no complaints relating to any contamination of the product were received whatsoever. CuraMedical manufactures Curaspon® in different sizes and forms. These forms can cover any need for an effective haemostasis in all types of surgery. Curaspon® gelatine sponges have 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. Curaspon® is applicable dry or moistened with sterile physiological saline squeezed out before application. Press Curaspon® against the bleeding site. In a short time it will adhere to the wound and control bleeding. It is recommended to remove excess Curaspon® material from the operative field. Curaspon® should not be re-sterilized.
