Anyone have any experience with this stuff? I cut the tip off of my finger two weeks ago and the ER plugged the wound with gelfoam to stop bleeding. They said that it would "be absorbed" and not to remove it. Well, it's been two weeks and the 2-3 mm thick gelfoam isn't going anywhere. It appears to have welded itself into my finger, and looks kind of gross actually (though the wound is not infected and appears to be healing so far as I can tell since it's covered with gelfoam).

Anyone have experience with this stuff and know when it will dissolve/be absorbed/wear away, or if I should return to doc to have something done? thanks
