  In major ear surgeries such as myringoplasty, tympanoplasty, stapedectomy, cochlear implantation, and mastoidectomy, surgeons handle some of the body’s most delicate structures. Effective haemostasis, structural support and reliable packing materials are essential to ensure surgical success and safe healing. A wide range of agents including oxidized regenerated cellulose, collagen-based products, thrombin and fibrin sealants and adhesives like cyanoacrylate or fibrin glue are commonly employed. Among these, absorbable gelatin sponges stand out by uniquely combining haemostatic action, scaffold support, and packing capability.1,2 Evidence indicates they achieve high tympanic membrane (TM) closure rates, making them a reliable first-line option for perforation repair.3 How Gelatin-Based Products Stand Out Gelatin sponges offer a unique balance of properties that make them well-suited for otologic procedures: Rapid haemostasis to control bleeding effectively.1 Stable scaffold to sup...

  In any surgical procedure, effective bleeding control is essential for achieving optimal patient outcomes. Haemostats improve intraoperative visibility, reduce surgical time, and promote faster recovery in patients. On the other hand, inadequate haemostasis can lead to complications such as wound dehiscence, infection, or hematoma formation. In more severe cases, it may result in conditions like hemarthrosis or hemothorax, significantly increasing the risk of post-operative morbidity and mortality in veterinary patients.1,2 The Role of Absorbable Haemostats Among available haemostatic options, gelatin-based sponges help manage bleeding by expanding to exert localized tissue pressure and achieving haemostasis through a tamponade effect.1Known for safety, reliability, and ease, they are effective in diverse surgeries, supporting smoother recoveries in animals.
