INDICATIONS
HEMOSTASIS: GELFOAM Sterile Compressed Sponge, used dry or saturated with
sterile sodium chloride solution, is indicated in surgical procedures as a hemostatic
device, when control of capillary, venous, and arteriolar bleeding by pressure, ligature,
and other conventional procedures is either ineffective or impractical. Although not
necessary, GELFOAM can be used either with or without thrombin to obtain hemostasis.
