The reason for using radiopaque strip tampons

Due to the presence of a contrast agent, this type of strip tampon is mostly used in cases where there is a risk of remaining at the surgical site, such as laparoscopies.

If for any reason, the tampon remains at the surgical site and is not detectable, its position at the surgical site can easily be determined by radiography.

How to use?

Today, the new methods and techniques that developed in the field of tampon production, caused the flourishing usage of small and delicate tampons.

One of the most important uses of tape-shaped tampons is to place them in the patient’s nose or other bleeding cavities. This puts pressure on the bleeding area, stops the bleeding, and improves the surgeon’s vision.

Also, in many cases, there is a possibility of bleeding at the end of the surgery, and one of the easiest ways to deal with it is using the same type of tampon, which is possible in different forms according to the surgeon’s discretion:

• Sometimes a tampon may simply get in through the tip into the nose to fill the cavity
• Sometimes may require dividing that into pieces and inserting them into the hole one by one
• In some cases, you may need to soak it in disinfectant (solution or ointment) to prevent adhesion to the tissue and prevent inflammation and infection, and then put it in place.

In all cases, the end of the tampon or incised tampon is placed outside the surgical site to determine the time of discharge and completely removed.

How to remove narrow strip tampons?

The doctor, with a spray or injection of physiological serum used in the cavity and on the mesh, performs the removal of the tampon painlessly for the patient with a little time, and the patient may only have a slight discomfort.
