The Medical Division is a Kettenbach GmbH & Co. KG. branch that looks back on more than a 40 year experience in the production of pure cotton absorbent materials and regenerated cellulose. As the years progressed, continuous improvements to the material were made, so that our current product quality ranks among the very best in the world.
Today, Kettenbach is a leading manufacturer of medical products. Thanks to the ongoing improvement and our superior quality standards, we have been able to develop many new applications for our range. Sugi® is being used for the following medical applications: Ophthalmology, ENT, dental medicine, neuro surgery, diagnostics, wound therapy and a wide variety of micro surgery interventions. Considering all of these applications, it is safe to refer to the product as a Versatile Cellulose Sponge Material.
Sugi® Rhino Swabs are ideal for absorbing blood and secretion from the wound area during nasal endoscopic surgery. The sponge material made of pure cotton and regenerated cellulose can absorb up to 20 times its own weight in aqueous solutions in less than 3 seconds. Sugi® absorbent swabs can also be used as a vehicle for vasocontrictory medication. The highly biocombatible swabs and strips have exceptional tear resistance. Sterile Disposable Absorbent Swabs
