Gelatin haemostatic agents are sterile, bioabsorbable sponges made from animal-derived gelatin, designed to control bleeding in surgical or traumatic wounds. They work by absorbing blood and physically compressing vessels to promote clotting, without releasing antimicrobials or drugs. Once applied, the device remains in place until the body naturally absorbs it.
These devices are typically single-use and regulated as medical products, with classification and supply rules varying by jurisdiction. They are not intended for repeated use and must meet standards for biocompatibility and sterility. Always check local regulations for proper handling and disposal.
