A Collagen Sponge with Gentamycin (0.1% w/w) is a hemostatic and antimicrobial implant fabricated via lyophilization of bovine or porcine collagen, impregnated with the aminoglycoside antibiotic gentamicin sulfate. The active agent inhibits bacterial protein synthesis to prevent surgical site infections. While the sponge matrix consists of Type I collagen peptides, the specific molecular formula for the composite device is not applicable; however, the drug component corresponds to Gentamicin Sulfate CAS No. 1405-41-0.
Contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to aminoglycosides or collagen-derived products. Strict aseptic technique is mandatory during handling to maintain sterility. Store unopened units at controlled room temperature (20°C–25°C) away from direct light and moisture to preserve structural integrity and antibiotic potency.
