Ferrosan Medical Devices is in close partnership with Ethicon (part of Johnson & Johnson), which is responsible for sales and marketing of the Ferrosan Medical Devices products, sold under the SURGIFLO™, SURGIFLO®, SPONGOSTAN™ and SURGIFOAM® trademarks in more than 100 countries. Ferrosan Medical Devices is the legal manufacturer.

With over 70 years of experience, Ferrosan Medical Devices has produced gelatine-based absorbable haemostats since 1946. SPONGOSTAN™ Sponge was CE-approved in 1996 and FDA-approved as SURGIFOAM® Sponge in 1999. The choice of haemostatic agent depends on surgery type, bleeding challenges, patient factors, and the product’s haemostatic and physical properties. Surgical sites also differ in visibility, tissue type, and bleeding intensity. Surgeons focus on effective bleeding control to ensure safe continuation and completion of the procedure, while OR nurses anticipate surgical needs, prepare instruments and products, and handle documentation.
