Products in this absorbent dressings range

This collection contains several distinct surgical product types. They are grouped here for easier sourcing, but their intended purposes are not interchangeable. Always use the product description and manufacturer instructions to confirm suitability.

01

SPONGOSTAN™ Standard

A sterile, absorbable porcine gelatin sponge intended for haemostatic use on a bleeding surface during eligible surgical procedures. The porous sponge provides a physical matrix that supports clot formation.

Featured reference: MS0002
02

SPONGOSTAN™ Anal

An absorbable gelatin haemostatic sponge in a format intended for anorectal surgical applications. Available references and pack configurations should be checked carefully before ordering.

Featured references: MS0004 and MS0007

SPONGOSTAN™ Powder

An absorbable gelatin powder format designed for targeted application to eligible bleeding surgical surfaces, supporting haemostasis where conventional methods are ineffective or impractical.

Featured reference: MS0008
04

INTERCEED™ (TC7)

A sterile absorbable oxidised regenerated cellulose barrier designed to support the reduction of post-operative adhesions in indicated open gynaecological procedures. This is an adhesion barrier, not a haemostatic sponge.

Featured references: M4345 and M4350
Buying guidance

Match the product to the clinical requirement

“Absorbable dressing” can describe very different products. Before ordering, distinguish between a haemostatic sponge or powder used to support control of surgical bleeding and an absorbable barrier used to help reduce post-operative adhesion formation.

Check the product code, material, format, dimensions, pack quantity and intended application. If your specification is reference-led, search using the manufacturer code shown on your procurement list.

1

Identify the purpose

Confirm whether the requirement concerns haemostasis or adhesion prevention.

2

Verify the reference

Match the manufacturer code and product format to the approved specification.

3

Check pack and availability

Review the current product page for pack quantity, price and delivery information.

Important professional-use information

These products must only be selected and used by appropriately trained healthcare professionals. Product information on this page is a purchasing guide and does not replace the manufacturer’s Instructions for Use, indications, contraindications, warnings or local clinical protocols.

Frequently asked questions

Absorbable dressings and haemostatic products

What is an absorbable haemostatic sponge?

It is a sterile surgical product applied to an eligible bleeding surface to support haemostasis. SPONGOSTAN™ products use absorbable porcine gelatin to provide a physical matrix that supports platelet adherence and aggregation. Refer to the specific Instructions for Use before selection or application.

What is the difference between SPONGOSTAN™ sponge and powder?

The products use different physical formats. Sponge products can suit surface application where a malleable porous dressing is required, while powder supports more targeted distribution across an eligible bleeding surface. The correct option depends on the procedure, access and approved clinical specification.

Is INTERCEED™ a haemostatic dressing?

No. INTERCEED™ is an absorbable adhesion barrier intended for specific gynaecological surgical applications. It should not be treated as interchangeable with an absorbable haemostatic sponge or powder.

Do haemostatic products replace sutures or ligatures?

No. Absorbable haemostatic products are adjuncts and are not substitutes for careful surgical technique or the appropriate use of sutures, ligatures and other conventional methods. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions and local protocol.
