What is the base material of Surgiflo?
Correct Answer:
Porcine gelatin
Explanation:
The base material is porcine gelatin. Surgiflo is a gelatin-thrombin matrix used to aid hemostasis, and the gelatin component provides a gel-like carrier that stays at the site of bleeding to localize clot formation. This gelatin is specifically derived from porcine tissue, which is why the correct base is porcine gelatin rather than bovine gelatin or a generic gelatin. Gelatin is a processed form of collagen, so while related, the product uses the gelatin matrix derived from porcine collagen rather than raw collagen fibers.
