Abgel is a highly effective absorbable gelatin sponge made from purified neutral gelatin, used to help control bleeding during surgeries. It is especially useful when traditional methods like pressure or sutures are not enough with strong hemostatic properties.
It works by mechanically stopping the bleeding and by concentrating platelets and blood proteins at the wound site, helping the body form a clot faster. It is commonly used in abdominal, dental, ENT, gynecological, neurosurgeries, and oncosurgeries, and offers reliable results within just 3 to 5 minutes.
It is sterilized using gamma irradiation and is completely absorbed by the body within 4 to 6 weeks, leaving no residue behind.
