Dosage and Method of Administration

The implant procedure should be performed by an appropriately trained surgeon under aseptic conditions. Avoid any unsterile handling of the product before or during application to avoid contamination.¹

Collatamp G is administrated as follows:¹

a) Before surgery 

• Read the instructions for use carefully. 
• Check the integrity of packaging. 
• The product must be used as soon as the sterile package component has been opened. 
• Do not use if the packaging is damaged. 

b) During surgery 

• Gloves and instruments should be wetted to prevent Collatamp G from adhering to them. Collatamp G can be cut to size to fit the area to be treated. 
• Place a dry Collatamp G on the area to be treated, which should be as dry as possible, and light pressure applied for about a few minutes to achieve better adhesion. 
• Up to 3 large Collatamp G sponges (10 × 10 × 0.5 or 5 × 20 × 0.5 cm) can be used, depending on the size of the area requiring haemostasis. However, the patient’s body weight should be taken into account. The number and size of the implants should be selected so that a total dose of 9 mg gentamicin sulfate per kg body weight is not exceeded.

c) After surgery 

• Collatamp G is completely absorbed. 
• Timelines for complete absorption depend on the site of surgical implantation.
