An absorbable gelatin sponge is a sterile hemostatic agent composed of purified porcine-derived gelatin. In regional chemotherapy, absorbable gelatin sponge may be used to embolize arteries in the region of a tumor in order to block or retard blood flow; this blockage results in a locally increased concentration of chemotherapeutic agents delivered to the tumor when chemotherapeutic agents are infused into the embolized arterial circulation upstream of the blockage.[1] It is sometimes soaked with buprenorphine.[2] It is placed directly on the wound's base and helps create a clot in the blood. To cover it and keep it in place, another bandage is placed on top of the dressing.Шаблон:Cn
