Intended Use
Betamix ULTRASOFT is a soft and absorbent viscose sponge used to protect nervous tissue, absorb fluids and blood during neurological and other surgical operations.
It is indicated for use in operations such as Neurosurgery, Spinal surgery, Orthopedic Surgery, Vascular and Microscopic surgeries when cauterization is not possible.
The ULTRASOFT Sponge helps to prevent bleeding spread and provide compression by its own mass pressure due to absorption.
- It is recommended to apply the surface without the X-ray strip.
- It is not recommended to touch by hands as it will cause linting of the sponge;
it should be handled with forceps.
- It is recommended that the patties should be removed from the operation area after a maximum of 15 minutes.
