World Kidney Day 2025: Enhancing Post-Dialysis bleeding control with SURGISPON® DIAL

Image
  Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) affects millions worldwide, yet early detection can significantly improve outcomes. World Kidney Day 2025, observed on March 13, highlights the theme “Are Your Kidneys OK? — Detect Early, Protect Kidney Health,” emphasizing the need for proactive measures to maintain kidney health. With millions of people suffering from CKD, it is crucial to highlight the significance of early detection and effective treatment options, including dialysis [1]. The Role of Dialysis in Managing Kidney Disease When kidney function declines significantly, dialysis becomes a life-saving treatment for many patients. Hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis help remove toxins, excess fluids, and waste products from the blood, performing the vital functions that failing kidneys can no longer handle. However, one of the common challenges during dialysis is post-procedure bleeding, which can cause discomfort and complications for patients. SURGISPON® DIAL: A Solution for Post-Dialys...

Oxidized Regenerated Cellulose Gauze: The Haemostatic Solution for Orthopaedic Surgeons

Image
  Introduction Orthopaedic surgeries involve procedures on the musculoskeletal system, including bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, and muscles. These surgeries are often complex and may involve significant blood loss due to the highly vascular nature of bone and soft tissue. Uncontrolled bleeding can lead to complications such as wound issues, infections, delayed rehabilitation, prolonged hospital stays, and increased healthcare cost. Thus, achieving effective haemostasis is a critical component of orthopaedic surgical practice [1]. To address these challenges, various haemostatic agents have been developed to aid surgeons in controlling bleeding efficiently. One of the most commonly used haemostatic agents in orthopaedic and other surgical procedures is  oxidized regenerated cellulose gauze (ORCG) . ORCG promotes haemostasis by activating the body’s natural coagulation pathways. Upon contact with blood, it forms a gelatinous mass that acts as a matrix for platelet adherence,...

Haemostatic Powder: A Reliable Solution for Surgical Bleeding Management

Image
  Introduction Haemorrhage, the sudden and severe leakage of blood due to blood vessel disruption, remains a leading cause of death from injuries worldwide. It accounts for over 35% of pre-hospital deaths and nearly 40% of deaths within 24 hours of injury [1]. Managing bleeding from vital organs such as the kidney, brain, and liver, as well as controlling persistent oozing over broad surfaces, presents a significant challenge in surgical procedures. While conventional methods like suturing or ligation help in controlling bleeding, they are often insufficient in cases of diffuse or inaccessible bleeding, leading to surgical delays and increased risks. Traditionally, surgical haemostats like gauze pads impregnated with agents such as ferric chloride or thrombin have been used [2]. However, these methods have drawbacks, including the risk of disrupting blood clots during removal and causing re-bleeding. This has created a need for a more efficient, easy-to-use solution—enter haemostat...
