Collatamp G is an antibiotic collagen sponge, used primarily in surgery for the localized delivery of antibiotics to prevent or treat infections in surgical wounds. Collatamp G is made from collagen, a natural protein found in connective tissues, and impregnated with gentamicin, an aminoglycoside antibiotic. Gentamicin works by inhibiting bacterial synthesis, effectively killing bacteria or preventing their growth, thus reducing the risk of infection at the surgical site.
Collatamp G is an effective localized antibiotic therapy in surgeries with high risk of infection, by providing a high concentration of antibiotics at the surgical site, while limiting systemic side effects. It is not intended to replace systemic antibiotic treatment, and additional systemic antibiotics may be necessary depending on the surgical procedure and patient condition.

2,0 mg/cm2 gentamicin sulphate
(equivalent to 1,3 mg/cm2 gentamicin base)
Composition
5cm x 5cm x 0.5cm
50mg gentamicin sulphate Pack Size: 1
10cm x 10cm x 0.5cm
200 mg gentamicin sulphate Pack Size: 1

In practice
Up to 3 sponges ( 10 cm x 10 cm).
Do not exceed a total dose of 9 mg gentamicin sulphate per kg body weight.
If adjuvant systemic treatment with gentamicin, other aminoglycoside antibiotics or other ototoxic or nephrotoxic drugs is necessary, the cumulative effects should be taken into account.
Contraindications: protein allergy or intolerability towards gentamicin, impaired renal function, pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Use a dry COLLATAMP®G on the area to be treated as dry as possible.
Apply a light pressure for about 3 minutes for better adhesion.
