GelfoamŪ Sterile Sponge is a medical device intended for application to bleeding surfaces as a hemostatic. It is a water-insoluble, off-white, nonelastic, porous, pliable product. It may be cut without fraying and is able to absorb and hold within its interstices, many times its weight of blood and other fluids.

The GelfoamŪ Absorable Gelative Sponge is often used by patients after dialysis treatment.
