  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...

  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...
