All reports related to the use of the product showed that there were no deformations of the product and there were no complaints related to contamination of the product.

Fine porosity of sponge activates the thrombocytes at the the moment blood  comes  in contact with the sponge matrix.
This causes the platelets to release a series of substances which promote their aggregation at the same time as their surface change character , thus enabling them to act as a catalyst for fibrin formation.
