“…Gelatin foams, made from animal skin gelatin that is whipped and baked into a usable sponge form, were first introduced as topical hemostatic agents in 1945 by Correll and Wise. 8 Gelatin foams expand on contact with blood and form a physical matrix that allows for the propagation of clotting. 8,9 In addition to absorbable gelatin sponge and compressed sponge forms, gelatin foam is also available in film and powder forms.…”

Two common manufactured gelatin foam products are Gelfilm and Gelfoam, available through Pharmacia & Upjohn Company (a subsidiary of Pharmacia Corporation, Pfizer, New York, NY).…”

“…Other advantages of gelatin foam are that it is nonantigenic, despite being animal derived, and is absorbed in the body within 4 to 6 weeks. 8 Finally, because gelatin foams have a neutral pH, unlike oxidized cellulose, they can be used concurrently with pH neutral biologic hemostatic agents, such as thrombin, to increase the overall effectiveness of achieving intraoperative hemostasis.…”

Achieving intraoperative hemostasis is essential for excellent surgical outcomes. A variety of methods, ranging from mechanical tools and energy-based technologies to topical hemostatic agents, are available to the modern surgeon. Given that bleeding develops from different origins, from small discrete bleeding or venous oozing to arterial hemorrhage, different tools and agents have different efficacy in specific situations. In this article, we review the mechanism by which currently available hemostatic tools and agents stop bleeding and give recommendations for their use during surgery. Furthermore, the costs of the various methods are presented, allowing the provider to choose not only the most potent but also the most cost-effective treatment modality in each situation.
