Profile: Aegis Lifesciences specializes in offering Surgispon® absorbable hemostatic gelatin sponges. These are non-toxic, non-allergenic, non-immunogenic, non-pyrogenic and biocompatible sponges. These are surgical grade haemostatic sponges, manufactured from highly purified first extract grade gelatin material and are used in various surgical procedures. These absorb approximately 40-50 times, their weight of water/blood and adhere easily to the bleeding site. Gelatin 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. The gelatin sponges are useful during dental surgeries. We also offer dental cubes. Our Dental Cube 20 is used for dentistry, following tooth extraction, prior to filling cavities resulting from the removal of mandibular or maxillary cysts. These are available in 10x10x10 mm dimension.
