Reports have shown no abnormalities of the product, and no complaints relating to any contamination of the product were received whatsoever.

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.
