AGS for dental surgery: The Clotting Companion: Unveiling the Magic of Gelatin Sponge in Dental Extraction Hemostasis

 

Dental extractions are a common dental procedure, often performed to alleviate pain, prevent infection, or prepare for orthodontic treatment. Dry socket, or alveolar osteitis, is a complication in dentistry that sometimes occurs after tooth extraction and is caused by the non-formation of a blood clot which in turn exposes the underlying bone and nerves leading to intense pain and delayed healing. Gelatin sponge is used post-tooth extraction with saline or antibiotics giving a perfect hemostasis and eliminating the need for gauze to be used for 3-4 hours. A clinical study with 26 patients who underwent molar teeth extraction showed gelatin sponge is a very effective hemostatic agent in controlling bleeding, pain reduction, and avoiding the occurrence of dry sockets.

Role of Surgi-ORC® Fibril and SURGISPON® in Posterior Fossa Tumor Resections

Image
  In posterior fossa tumor resections, Surgi-ORC® Fibril and SURGISPON® play crucial roles in facilitating a successful surgery and promoting optimal patient outcomes. Here's how they contribute to the surgical process: Hemostasis : One of the primary roles of both Surgi-ORC® Fibril and SURGISPON® is to assist in achieving hemostasis, which is the control of bleeding during surgery. Posterior fossa tumor resections can involve intricate procedures near sensitive structures such as the brainstem and cranial nerves, where bleeding must be carefully managed to maintain a clear surgical field and prevent complications. Surgi-ORC® Fibril and SURGISPON® are applied to bleeding surfaces to promote clot formation and minimize bleeding, thus enhancing visibility and surgical precision. Tissue Protection : During posterior fossa tumor resections, it's essential to protect delicate neural tissues from damage during surgical manipulation. Surgi-ORC® Fibril and SURGISPON® act as physical ba

Revolutionizing Total Knee Arthroplasty: The Role of ORC in Bleeding Control

  Effective   bleeding control   remains a formidable challenge in   modern surgery , particularly in orthopedic procedures where managing bleeding from the exposed or cut surface of cancellous bone is a critical concern.   Total knee arthroplasty   (TKA), a prevalent surgery for severe knee arthritis within orthopedics, is notably associated with significant blood loss due to extensive bone cutting and exposure of a large surface area of cancellous bone [1]. Challenges in TKA: Patients undergoing primary TKA are particularly susceptible to significant intraoperative and postoperative blood loss, leading to potential complications such as pain, decreased range of motion, and delayed recovery. With an aging population and increased life expectancy, the annual incidence of TKA procedures is expected to rise, reaching an estimated 3 million in the United States by 2030 [2]. Role of Absorbable Haemostatic Agents: To address bleeding challenges in orthopedic surgeries, particularly in TKA,
