  Introduction In microneurosurgery, even minor bleeding can obscure the operative field and increase risk, making precise haemostasis essential. Gelatin-based agents:  SURGISPON® ,  FLOGEL®  and the plant-based agent  Surgi-ORC®  offer a versatile, cost-effective alternative to conventional methods like bone wax. When combined with human-derived thrombin as a gelatin–thrombin matrix, their efficacy is further enhanced, making them a reliable choice for delicate neural and vascular procedures. Exploring SURGISPON®, FLOGEL® and Surgi-ORC®: Complete Benefits for Neurosurgical Hemostasis SURGISPON® : Absorbable Haemostatic Sponge SURGISPON® is a gamma-sterilized, non-toxic, absorbable gelatin sponge that provides fast and effective bleeding control during neurosurgeries.

  In ophthalmic surgery, maintaining a clear surgical field is paramount. Whether performing cataract extraction, LASIK, trabeculectomy, or vitreoretinal procedures, even small amounts of fluid can obscure the surgeon’s view, compromise precision, and risk damage to delicate eye tissues. Traditional tools such as suction devices and ophthalmic viscosurgical devices (OVDs) often face challenges like pressure fluctuations, suction loss, or microtrauma.1–3 This is where  Polyvinyl Alcohol  (PVA) Eye Spears, particularly SURGI-PVA™ Eye Spears, are designed to enhance fluid management and surgical safety, offering superior absorption and ensure surgical safety.4 Why PVA Eye Spears Outperform Cellulose Alternatives Cellulose-based spears can absorb fluids effectively, but their major drawback lies in microscopic fragmentation. These tiny residues may trigger postoperative inflammation, foreign body reactions, or microbial contamination ultimately delaying recovery. In contrast,...
