Redefining Post-Hemodialysis Bleeding Control with SURGISPON® DIAL

Image
  Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a significant global health issue, affecting over 750 million people worldwide. For more than two million patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), hemodialysis serves as a vital lifeline, enabling survival despite the loss of kidney function [1, 2]. As the need for hemodialysis in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) continues to rise, the creation of hemodialysis access points—such as arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) and arteriovenous grafts (AVGs)—has become a routine yet essential vascular surgery procedure, crucial for ensuring long-term dialysis success [3, 4]. Fig. 1:  AVF surgery [ Kidney Care UK ] Maintaining the patency of these dialysis access points is a significant challenge, as less than half of all AVFs and AVGs remain functional beyond three years due to frequent complications such as narrowing or thrombosis [4]. To address these issues, catheter-based interventions like percutaneous transluminal angioplasty are commonly used t

Role of Oxidized Regenerated Cellulose Gauze in Managing Intraoperative Bleeding During Myomectomy

Image
  Uterine fibroids are a common health condition affecting millions of women globally, often leading to symptoms such as heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, and infertility, which significantly diminish a woman’s quality of life [1]. For women who seek to preserve fertility or alleviate these distressing symptoms, myomectomy—the surgical removal of fibroids—is a preferred treatment. However, a critical challenge during myomectomy is the management of intraoperative bleeding, which can be life-threatening if uncontrolled [2]. Excessive blood loss can prolong the surgery, complicate recovery, increase the risk of infection, and potentially require blood transfusions. As a result, addressing intraoperative bleeding efficiently is essential for improving surgical outcomes and reducing postoperative complications. This blog explores how advanced hemostatic agents, particularly  oxidized regenerated cellulose gauze  (ORCG), are transforming the way surgeons manage bleeding during myomecto

Revolutionizing Surgical Hemostasis: Introducing Surgi-ORC® Powder (Absorbable Hemostatic Powder)

Image
  In modern surgery, efficiently managing perioperative bleeding is crucial. Uncontrolled surgical bleeding poses significant risks to patient health and leads to substantial clinical and healthcare resource burdens. This challenge is particularly pronounced with an aging population and the rising prevalence of comorbidities and anticoagulant use. To address these issues, topical hemostatic agents have emerged as vital tools, promoting hemostasis where conventional methods fall short. These agents vary widely in properties, mode of action, ease of use, safety, and cost. Their selection often depends on the specific surgical scenario, bleeding situation, and patient’s health status. Exploring Topical Hemostatic Agents The current array of topical hemostatic agents comprises several types, each designed to meet different needs in the surgical setting: Mechanical Agents:  these are regarded as the simplest, safest, and most cost-effective. They offer a structural framework for hemostasis
