Understanding Nasal Packing: Types, Uses, and Recovery Support

Image
  Nasal packing is a fundamental component of otolaryngologic (ENT) practice, widely used for the management of epistaxis and postoperative care following procedures such as septoplasty, turbinate reduction, functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS), and rhinoplasty.1 By providing mechanical support, facilitating haemostasis, and protecting healing tissues, nasal packing helps reduce postoperative complications and improve patient recovery. Today, a variety of nasal packing materials are available, including resorbable nasal packing, inflatable devices, ribbon gauze, and self-expanding polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)-based nasal pack such as SURGI-PVA™ . Each type is designed to address specific clinical needs, ranging from haemostasis to improved patient comfort. In this blog, we’ll explore different types of nasal packing for nose bleeding and how they help manage bleeding, support healing, and aid recovery after nasal procedures.

SURGI-PVA™ Eye Spear: Small Tool, Big Role in ophthalmic surgeries

Image
  In ophthalmic and microscopic surgeries, maintaining a clear surgical field is important for precision and visibility. Since eye tissues are highly delicate, even small amounts of excess fluid can affect surgical accuracy, making effective fluid management an essential part of the procedure. While traditional cellulose-based sponges are commonly used, they may carry a risk of fibre shedding or residue during delicate procedures. PVA (polyvinyl alcohol) ophthalmic surgical sponges offer a cleaner and more controlled alternative for fluid management. Designed for delicate ophthalmic procedures, microsurgical consumable spears such as SURGI-PVA™ Eye Spears help absorb excess fluid efficiently, allowing surgeons to maintain better visibility, focus and control throughout surgery. What is SURGI-PVA™ Eye Spear? SURGI-PVA™ Eye Spears are microsurgical consumable spears made using Air Foam Technology with PVA, a soft, highly absorbent, and retentive sponge material designed to absorb ...

FLOGEL® Enhancing Gentle Haemostasis in Endometriosis Care

Image
  Endometriosis is a common, benign, estrogen-dependent condition affecting women of reproductive age. It often presents as ovarian endometriomas and may be associated with pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, infertility, or may be discovered incidentally during imaging or surgery.1,2 Surgical treatment options include fenestration with coagulation, laser vaporization, and laparoscopic cystectomy. Among these, cystectomy is generally considered the preferred approach, as it has been shown to reduce recurrence compared with drainage and ablation and is associated with better fertility outcomes.2,3 However, once the cyst is removed, achieving effective haemostasis from the ovarian bed can still be a challenging step in the procedure. Why does the choice of haemostatic method matter in endometrioma surgery? The method used to control bleeding during laparoscopic cystectomy for endometriosis can directly affect ovarian tissue. Choosing an approach that ensures effective haemostasis...
