  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...

  Clefts of the lip, alveolus, and palate are among the most common craniofacial birth abnormalities found in both humans and animals. Traditional treatments, such as autogenous bone grafts, have long been regarded as the gold standard. However, these methods have substantial disadvantages, including limited bone availability and donor-site problems such as post-operative pain, changes in sensation, and the risk of infections and scarring. Fortunately, recent approaches in cell therapy and tissue engineering provide promising solutions to these issues. One interesting strategy is to use a gelatin sponge scaffold combined with cultured stem cells to repair cleft alveoli in dogs. In this blog, we’ll explore how combining these innovative approaches particularly utilizing a gelatin sponge scaffold with cultured stem cells, can revolutionize the treatment of craniofacial defects in dogs. Role of Gelatin Sponge, Cell therapy, and Tissue Engineering Gelatin Sponge Scaffold:  The gel...

  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 sur...
