Pfizer has been experiencing a shortage on their Gelfoam® sponges. We will continue to receive products sporadically through the end of March 2020. We are suggesting Ethicon’s Surgifoam® as an alternative to Gelfoam®. We have ample supply of this product and it is in stock and ready to ship!
Surgifoam® Absorbable Sponges are a sterile, porcine absorbable gelatin sponge intended for hemostatic use. Surgifoam® sponges liquefy within 2 to 5 days when applied to bleeding mucosal regions. It absorbs up to 40 times its own weight, completely absorbed within 4 to 6 weeks. It can be used dry or wet, saturated with sterile sodium chloride solution. Surgifoam® sponges are easy to handle: malleable and can be shaped as needed or easily cut to size. Sponges can also be sutured over.
Surgifoam® is available in two shapes, cube or flat sponges, to provide the most effective hemostasis treatment.
