Biofoam is supplied in single-use canisters of varying size, prefilled with an expansion agent and liquid polyethyltriphosphate. When the two mix and are exposed to air they immediately produce a foaming reaction. The foam strongly adheres to tissues while also releasing encapsulated medical compounds that promote clotting, disinfects the wound, and numbs pain. After a short time the foam will set, becoming a semirigid porous mass internally, while forming a hardened skin on those areas exposed to air. | Biofoam is supplied in single-use canisters of varying size, prefilled with an expansion agent and liquid polyethyltriphosphate.
