Optimizing Post-Septoplasty Healing with SURGISPON® Nasal Pack

Image
  Nasal septoplasty is a common ENT and plastic surgery procedure performed to correct a deviated septum and improve nasal breathing. Postoperative care is essential to arrest hemorrhage, reduce pain and prevent complications. Conventional nasal packing methods often cause discomfort, pain and bleeding particularly during removal.1 To address this, absorbable materials such as SURGISPON® gelatin sponge provide a gentler alternative. To better understand how recovery can be improved, let us first explore why nasal packing is important after septoplasty. Why is nasal packing important after septoplasty? Nasal packing plays a key role in supporting healing and preventing postoperative complications.2,3 Press enter or click to view image in full size Since nasal packing plays such an important role, let’s take a closer look at the material used and how it supports safe and comfortable healing.

The Role of Gelatin Sponge in Third Molar Surgery

Image
  Third molar surgery (wisdom tooth extraction) is a common dental procedure to remove impacted or problematic third molars. Reasons for extraction:1–2 Impaction:  Lack of space can prevent proper eruption, causing pain, infection, or damage to nearby teeth. Infection and Disease:  Conditions like pericoronitis or dental caries may require removal. Preventive Measures:  Sometimes extracted prophylactically to avoid future complications, especially in younger patients. What is Surgi-ORC®? Surgi-ORC®  is a natural, plant-based absorbable haemostat made from oxidized regenerated cellulose (ORC). It is designed to fix the shortcomings of traditional ORC materials and is biocompatible, fast-acting, bactericidal, easily cut, flexible, suturable, and usable dry around bleeding sites. What complications can occur after third molar extraction? Complications range from mild pain and swelling to serious conditions such as nerve injury, mandibular fracture and life-threaten...

Surgi-ORC®: Real-World Solutions for Safer ENT Procedures

Image
  The ear, nose and throat (ENT) area is delicate and richly supplied with blood vessels and nerves, making even minor surgeries prone to bleeding and complications. Procedures such as posterior turbinectomy, medial maxillectomy, nasal neurotomy, gland excisions, adenoidectomy, tonsillectomy, and endoscopic sinus surgery carry particularly high bleeding risks.1–4 Traditional hemostatic methods, such as electrocautery, are commonly used in otolaryngology (ENT) but carry several risks2: Risk of burns from improper placement Conductive pathways created by blood or sweat, increasing burn risk Pressure injuries and skin folds from incorrect patient positioning Inconsistent results in tight or anatomically complex spaces These limitations highlight the need for safer and more adaptable topical haemostats. To address this, Surgi-ORC®, offers a safe and cost-effective solution for achieving reliable haemostasis during otorhinolaryngological surgeries. What is Surgi-ORC®? Surgi-ORC®  i...
