Colombian surgeon sees advantages of Gelitacel®
“I definitely prefer Gelitacel.”
To begin with, Dr. Jimenez Chaura uses
Gelitacel® when he notices minimum su-
ture needle stick wounds, where there may
be leakage on the line of suture of the anas-
tomosis. The gauze is particularly effective
in preventing post-surgery haemorrhage or
leaking. Gelitacel® is also handy for cardiac
tissue repairs due to the oozing that occurs
during dissection in this type of interven-
tions. In the Maze s Surgery procedure the
surgeon uses Gelitacel® because of the mag-
nitude of the incision in left atrium.
Number of advaNtages
Jimenez Chaura has eight years of expe-
rience in adult pathology and congenital
cardiopathy. His project is to implement
the program of cardiac transplant in the
two Hospitals where he works, the Clinica
SaludCoop and the Militar Hospital Bogota.
“There are a number of advantages to
Gelitacel® that I particularly appreciate,”
he says. “The resistance of the mate-
rial helps things along. It has an excellent
haemostatic effect. And the conservation
of its structure once in contact with fluids
allows its repositioning when necessary.”
ImportaNt decrease
During post operative X-ray control (Tho-
racic X-ray) the product cannot be seen. “I
made a post surgery evaluation of Gelitacel®,
observing an important decrease after first
day bleeding,” Jimenez Chaura recalls. >>
Dr. Jimenez Chaura specializes in
cardiovascular surgery.
Surgeons the world over depend on Gelitacel® haemostatic gauze to con-
trol bleeding during operations. Dr. Mauricio Armando Jimenez Chaura
(40) specializes in cardiovascular surgery in the Clinica SaludCoop
in Bogota, Colombia. He is very pleased with Gelitacel’s performance
and uses it in Aortic Surgery, in Composite Valve Grafts, Aortoplastia
and on Clinically Compromised Aortic tissue and re-interventions.

greater resIstaNce
The cardiovascular surgeon has used vari-
ous other products such as Surgicel, Fibril-
lar, Nu-knit and normal Surgicel, Gel foam
and Spongostan. “Gelitacel® has a greater
resistance, it has better adherence to the
tissue and the graft. Its structure allows for
better manipulation and repositioning. So I
definitely prefer Gelitacel®.”
