CuraSpon - Sterile Absorbable Gelatin Sponge
CuraSpon® is a sterile absorbable gelatin sponge with haemostatic effect suitable for the control of bleeding. CuraSpon® is manufactured from highly purified neutral gelatin foam of uniform fine porosity which guarantees a favourable homeostasis. The gelatin sponge activates the thrombocytes at the moment blood comes in contact with the matrix of the sponge. This causes 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 fibrin.
CuraWax - Non-Absorbable Haemostatic Devices
CuraWax® is a non-absorbable haemostatic bone wax and is fabricated from a mixture of beeswax (80%) and isopropyl palmitate (20%). It is obtained by fusion with hot water from the walls of the honeycomb Apis mellifera Linne´, and isopropyl palmitate which is a solvent with good emulsifiability. CuraWax® is opaque and has a distinctive odour and colour.
CuraCel - Oxidised Renegerated Cellulose
Oxidised Renegerated Cellulose Natural, plant based cellulose is dissolved and extruded as a continuous fibre (regeneration). The fabric made from the fibre is very uniform in chemical composition and its oxidation results in less variation in stability and absorbility of the material compared to cotton based products. CuraCel® Absorbable Haemostat is a sterile product made of oxidized regenerated cellulose (polyoxyan hydro glucuronic acid). The action mechanism of CuraCel® is independent from the blood coagulation mechanism of the body. When it comes into contact with blood, CuraCel® forms a brownish or black gelatinous mass which aids clot formation. This gelatinous mass acts as a physical matrix to which platelets can adhere. With platelet aggregation and formation of a platelet-fibrin plug, haemostatis occurs.
CuraTamp - Absorbable Haemostatic Devices
CuraTamp® is a sterile, absorbable haemostat made from Oxidised Cellulose. Oxidised Cellulose is a fabric material that is obtained by the oxidation of alpha grade cotton gauze using nitrous oxide. The low pH of the cellulosic acid within the product has caustic properties that lead to haemostasis via the initial denaturation of blood proteins. CuraTamp® provides haemostasis in surgical procedures to control capillary, venous and small arterial bleeding when binding, suturing or other conventional methods of control are impractical or ineffective.
