Enhancing Nail Matrixectomy and Biopsy Outcomes with SURGISPON®

What is Surgical Nail Matrixectomy and Nail Plate Biopsy?

Nail matrixectomy or biopsy involves removing or destroying the nail matrix to prevent abnormal regrowth or obtain tissue for diagnosis. Performed under local anesthesia, the nail plate is partially lifted to expose and ablate the matrix surgically, chemically, or electrically. During these surgeries, even minimal trauma can trigger significant bleeding from the vascular nail bed obscuring visibility and delaying healing.

Revolutionizing Surgical Hemostasis: Introducing Surgi-ORC® Powder (Absorbable Hemostatic Powder)

Image
  In modern surgery, efficiently managing perioperative bleeding is crucial. Uncontrolled surgical bleeding poses significant risks to patient health and leads to substantial clinical and healthcare resource burdens. This challenge is particularly pronounced with an aging population and the rising prevalence of comorbidities and anticoagulant use. To address these issues, topical hemostatic agents have emerged as vital tools, promoting hemostasis where conventional methods fall short. These agents vary widely in properties, mode of action, ease of use, safety, and cost. Their selection often depends on the specific surgical scenario, bleeding situation, and patient’s health status. Exploring Topical Hemostatic Agents The current array of topical hemostatic agents comprises several types, each designed to meet different needs in the surgical setting: Mechanical Agents:  These are regarded as the simplest, safest, and most cost-effective. They offer a structural framework for he...

The Role of Haemostatic Gel Matrix in Reducing Neurosurgical Complications

Image
  Neurosurgical procedures demand exceptional precision and control, especially when performed in tight anatomical spaces using microscopic or endoscopic techniques. In such confined environments, even minor bleeding can significantly obscure the surgical field, increasing operative complexity and the risk of damaging critical neural structures [1]. Thus, achieving rapid and effective haemostasis is not merely desirable — it is vital to patient safety and surgical success. Why Haemostasis Matters in Neurosurgery Unlike many other surgical specialties, neurosurgery poses distinct challenges due to the proximity of vital neural structures and the potentially devastating consequences of even minor postoperative bleeding. Generalized oozing from the dura mater, spinal nerves, or bony surfaces may be deceptively persistent and difficult to control. Residual blood, even in small amounts, can compress delicate tissues, resulting in complications such as hematomas, infections, or neurologi...
