It is widely used for arresting the bleeding following tooth extraction. It may also be used in other oral surgeries and in areas where the small size of the sponge is an advantage, e.g., epistaxis. How HEMOSPONGE works: The spongy structure of HEMOSPONGE provides surface to thrombocytes of oozing blood, enabling thrombocytes to release a series of substances and promoting self aggregation. At the same time it also makes thrombocytes to act as a catalyst for the formation of the fibrin, activating cascade of blood coagulation.
