Description FLOGEL® represents a specialized advancement in hemostatic technology. It consists of a pH-neutral, cross-linked gelatin granules that are mixed with sterile saline (or a thrombin solution) to create a smooth, flowable consistency. Once injected into the bleeding site, the matrix conforms perfectly to the unique topography of the wound, providing immediate coverage and physical tamponade. The granules swell upon contact with blood, restricting flow and providing a large surface area for the natural clotting cascade to occur. Because of its flowable nature, it is particularly effective in procedures involving bone, neurological tissues, and deep vascular access. It is completely bio-resorbable and is typically cleared by the body within 6 to 8 weeks, leaving no foreign body residue behind. Key Features & Benefits Conformability: The flowable gel perfectly fills irregular voids, crevices, and deep cavities that sponges or sheets cannot reach. Ready-to-Use Delivery: Comes in a user-friendly kit with a syringe and flexible applicators for precise, one-handed delivery. Effective on “Active” Bleeding: Works rapidly to stop oozing and heavy capillary bleeding in highly vascularized areas. Biocompatibility: Made from highly purified porcine gelatin; it is non-pyrogenic and maintains a neutral pH to minimize tissue irritation. Stays in Place: Unlike liquid hemostats, FLOGEL® has the viscosity to remain at the site of application even in the presence of active blood flow. Versatile Mixing: Can be used with saline for standard hemostasis or combined with thrombin for enhanced performance in challenging cases. Smooth Expression: Designed to flow easily through the applicator tip without clogging, ensuring a consistent application during critical moments.
