Hemorrhage 07/01/2007 - "Analysis of the results demonstrated that the haemostatic agents are effective in controlling hemorrhage; they stimulate osteogenesis, featuring a pattern of osseous tissue formation similar to the control pattern, although the amount of osseous trabeculae was superior, especially in the Gelfoam group in the periods of 7 and 14 days; 30 days after surgery, the delay in tissue healing in the control group in relation to the experimental groups started to decrease, and the control and experimental groups exhibited similar tissue repair after 45 days, when all the groups exhibited secondary osseous tissue." 12/01/1981 - "In 16 patients, gelfoam embolization of the bronchial artery was effective in causing immediate cessation of the hemorrhage" 08/01/2006 - "The insertion of an absorbable gelatin sponge into the extraction socket was found to be a very useful method to prevent postoperative bleeding problems." 08/01/2007 - "Blinded study drug was applied topically to bleeding sites with an absorbable gelatin sponge" 05/01/1987 - "Following a pilot study a controlled trial was carried out to assess the effect of absorbable gelatin sponge on reducing the bleeding from microvascular anastomoses of the femoral arteries and veins of rats" Order ALL the reference details at left...
