ABSORBABLE GELATIN SPONGE STERILE SPONGE #10x10x10mm

Overview

An Absorbable Gelatin Sponge (10×10×10 mm) is a sterile hemostatic material used to control bleeding during dental and surgical procedures. Made from purified gelatin (often porcine or bovine origin), it is placed directly into the bleeding site where it promotes clot formation and stops hemorrhage effectively.

Key Features

• Highly absorbent – absorbs 40–50 times its weight in blood/fluid
• Sterile & bio-compatible for safe intraoral use
• Porous structure enhances platelet aggregation and clot formation
• Completely resorbable – absorbed in 3–4 weeks without residue
• Can be used dry or with medicaments (e.g., antibiotics)

Specifications

• Size: 10 × 10 × 10 mm (cube)
• Material: Purified gelatin foam
• Type: Absorbable hemostatic sponge
• Sterility: Individually sterile packed
• Absorption Time: ~3–4 weeks

Applications

• Tooth extraction sockets
• Oral surgeries (bone & soft tissue)
• Periodontal procedures
• Minor surgical bleeding control
• Carrier for medicaments

Clinical Advantage

• Quick hemostasis → reduces chair time
• Eliminates need for sutures in many cases
• Enhances healing by stabilizing clot
• Easy to place and conform to cavity shape

Conclusion

The 10×10×10 mm absorbable gelatin sponge is a standard, essential hemostatic material in dentistry. Its high absorption capacity, biocompatibility, and complete resorption make it ideal for routine surgical and extraction procedures.
