- Composed of 100% highly purified, pH-neutral pharmaceutical-grade porcine gelatin, this specialized configuration is designed explicitly as a cylindrical Nasal Tampon, it's a long, thin cylindrical geometry is optimized for narrow, deeper spaces like nasal cavities, sinus pathways, or complex tracking extraction sites where standard squares or flat sheets cannot reach
Uses
- Nasal and Rhinological Surgery:
- Inserted inside nasal cavities following septoplasty, rhinoplasty, or turbinectomy procedures to control mucosal hemorrhaging
- Advanced Dental & Maxillofacial Interventions:
- Functions well for packing deep sinus lift tracking sites or treating extensive oroantral communications
- Epistaxis (Severe Nosebleed) Management:
- Utilized by emergency rooms and first responders as a rapid internal mechanical compress to control acute capillary or venous nasal hemorrhaging
- Deep Surgical Wound Packing:
- Snaked or molded into complex, irregular tissue lacerations or bone defects where packing broad gauze is impossible
Features
- Cylindrical Nasal Tampon Geometry (80mm x 7mm):
- Custom engineered to adapt perfectly to the contours of the nasal tract, providing smooth, equal radial pressure along the inner walls
- Pure Porcine Gelatin Matrix:
- Formulated to be completely non-toxic, non-allergenic, non-immunogenic, and non-pyrogenic, guaranteeing excellent tissue compatibility
- Massive Absorption Profile:
- Naturally pulls in between 35 to 50 times its physical weight in blood and wound exudates, swelling slightly to exert a light local tamponade effect
- Total Biodegradable Resorption:
- The matrix breaks down cleanly in vivo via standard cellular enzymes within 3 to 7 days when exposed to open surface fluids, leaving absolutely zero residue
- Fluid Medication Carrier:
- Functions as an ideal transport template; its highly porous structure can be pre-saturated with localized fluid medications such as antibiotics, liquid thrombin, or specialized solutions
Benefits
- Rapid Hemostasis Activation:
- Upon contact with blood, the sponge matrix swells slightly to create an artificial mesh that physically traps platelets, triggering the body's natural coagulation cascade to halt bleeding within moments
- Enhanced, Smooth Tissue Recovery:
- Clinically proven to support a cleaner, faster local granulation tissue development compared to rough, non-resorbable dressings
- Total Protection Against Cross-Contamination:
- Gamma-sterilized and sealed inside individual ready-to-tear blister grids to ensure absolute sterility on the surgical table
- No Painful Secondary Removals:
- Traditional nasal packing must be forcefully yanked out, frequently tearing raw, freshly clotted mucosa. Because this porcine gelatin dissolves completely on its own, patients and clinicians are spared from painful follow-up extraction appointments
