Paper Out!!
Excited to announce our recent publication on #ocularenvenomation caused by the #MonocledCobra, highlighting the rare spitting event exhibited by this species. The report emphasizes the critical importance of using appropriate protective equipment when working with the Monocled Cobra regardless of the handler's expertise and skill level. It also provides detailed insights into clinical manifestations, new symptoms and drug usage. This study was published in #Toxicon (IF 2.6, CS 4.8).

Did you know that approximately 12-25% of patients with a hospital acquired pressure ulcer develop them during surgical procedures?
Recent studies reveal that one in twelve patients undergoing surgical procedures lasting more than three hours will develop postoperative pressure ulcers within four days. Pressure ulcers produce needless pain and suffering for patients, have a negative impact on the patient’s quality of life and can last for months at a time.
The unique AKTON polymer in Action® products is designed to redistribute pressure, mitigate shear forces and is clinically proven to help reduce the risk of pressure injuries. AKTON polymer is reusable and cost effective, does not support bacterial growth and is not made with natural rubber latex. It is hypo-allergenic and will not leak or flow if punctured.

With each new year, it’s important not only to reflect on how far we’ve come, but also to look forward to what lies ahead!
Catheter technology has come a long way, and we’re proud to be leading the evolution.
Our advanced GentleCath™ with FeelClean Technology™ catheters have hydrophilic properties built directly into to catheter itself so there is no sticky coating required.
What does this mean for intermittent catheter users?
✔️Protects the urethra due to no sticking. ¹,²
✔️Designed to reduce discomfort, bleeding and the risk of UTIs. ¹,²
✔️Minimal mess and residue. ²
At Convatec we are redefining comfort and care, one innovation at a time.

I have posted on here before about closure techniques for #GPOEM for #gastroparesis.
While we still have much to learn about this procedure (and this video shows the end of another variation: the lesser curve or superior approach myotomy), it is clear that we are helping people to recover function and quality of life. Secure wound closure to prevent leaks and other complications remains a challenge.
After waiting what seems like a long time (for obvious reasons Boston Scientific 😜), I believe I have finally found my personal favourite.
I was pleased a few weeks ago to be the first in the UK to use the new #Mantis clip and it did exactly what I was hoping! Although this video doesn't seem like we are really asking a lot of the clip itself (it can do more!), the pay-off in terms of cost effectiveness and security (in terms of me faith in the device) is huge!! CLip #2 is my favourite - look how the 'fangs' of this clip really bite into the tissue to bring the edges of the mucosal incision together from so far apart. (Apologies for the non-linear finish for clip #3 ... I will try harder next time 😁).
Look out for a partner video or two to this one, where we used the innovative X-tack (which is the closure I thought I was waiting for before Mantis ... and before X-tack, Overstitch!). It is wonderful to have three such powerful tools for tissue apposition and wound closure, all from Boston Scientific.
Please join us on Tuesday, October 15th at 7pm ET for a Webinar on "Managing Bioburden in Complex Surgical Wounds: The Role of A Novel Extracellular Matrix Scaffold (ECM) Plus PHMB Antimicrobial" with speakers Dr. Mark Granick, Dr. Vipul Dev, and Yeabsera Tamire.
Through real-world case examples, this webinar will discuss how PuraPly SX, a native ECM scaffold with PHMB antimicrobial effectiveness within the product, plays a role in managing bioburden and supporting healing in complex surgical wounds.
