CONT

les éponges de gélatine ou Spongel (...) sont stériles et résorbables. Elles jouent un double rôle hémostatique: par leur forte adhésivité sur les plaies, elles assurent une hémostase de type mécanique; grâce à leur pouvoir de rétention élevé des liquides, elles servent de support aux solutions hémostatiques, quelles qu’elles soient, de thrombine en particulier.
