How to Use Collaclot™ Veterinary Haemostatic Sponge
✚ Identify / expose the wound.
✚ Identify the point of bleeding.
✚ Wipe away excess blood where possible.
✚ Remove Collaclot™ Haemostatic Sponge from packaging.
✚ If required, cut or tear the sponge to the necessary size, to suit the wound, then place the perforated (rough) side of the sponge directly onto the wound. Cover the sponge with an appropriate dressing and apply direct pressure.
✚ Apply pressure directly onto the wound until the bleeding is controlled / stops.
✚ Wrap with a bandage to maintain pressure and seek further veterinary assistance where required.
✚ Collaclot™ can be formed to 'fit' any wound or site where rapid coagulation is required.
✚ Following use, and where possible, excessive Collaclot™ should be removed from the wound site. However, as a naturally occurring product (collagen) it will be slowly absorbed by the body.
Customer Testimonial
Kate Hughes, RVN, owns a 3-year-old TB Filly, who had unfortunately suffered a deep laceration to the forehead. Not long before this incident, Kate had received a sample of our Collaclot™ product.
Upon using our Collaclot™ Haemostatic Sponge, her filly was left with a very clean wound from which the sponge was easily removed from the wound site without pulling away the clot, meaning there was no re-bleeding from the site. A small drainage point was purposely left at the bottom of the wound, but other than that the wound has healed beyond all expectations and there was very minimal scarring after a 6-week period. The main function of the collagen sponge is to cause haemostasis and clot the blood, but it also surprised everyone involved that the collagen sponge also aided the wound to prevent scarring and prevent wound dehiscence. Research has shown that collagen plays an important role in skin health, and aids wound repair and scar formation.
"I couldn’t be happier with this outcome. When I was faced with this large laceration on my own horse, I instantly went for the Collaclot™ dressing I received as a sample to try and placed it directly into the wound which was then removed at clean up. The bleeding stopped pretty much straight away, with no re-bleeding during the clean-up and stitch, and was surprisingly easy to remove from the wound, which made everyone’s lives so much easier, as this little filly wasn’t the most helpful of patients. When it first happened, we were advised by the Vet that due to the type of laceration there would be a high chance of wound breakdown and separation, but upon using the Collaclot™ product, both the vet and I were amazed by the minimal discharge the wound produced, how easy it was to remove in one piece from the wound site, how well the product worked with no re-bleeding during clean up and stitch, and how the wound has healed.” – Kate Hughes REVN, RVN
