SUGI® Products
All Sugi® Products contain our Sugi® medical grade sponge material made of pure cotton and regenerated cellulose, with highest biocompatibility and tear resistance. Our material can absorb between 17-20 times of its own weight of aqueous solutions in a very short time. A soft elastic expansion is initiated and, depending on the area of application, a soft compression of the surrounding tissue is induced.

Sugi® Eye Spear
Ophthalmology places particularly high demands on surgical accessories. The highly absorbent Sugi® (sponge material) has proven to be very effective in the field of cataract surgery. With its tightly bound fibers and firm consistency when wet, Sugi® Eye Spear is ideal for diverse ophthalmic surgical procedures, including LASIK.

Sugi® Rhino Swabs
Rhino swabs have been specifically designed for Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS). Nasal surgery swabs with retrieval cord, according to Prof. Dr. H. Stammberger, are ideal for absorbing blood and secretion during endoscopic nasal surgery. The sponge material can absorb between 17-20 times of its own weight in aqueous solutions, in less than 3 seconds. Sugi® absorbent swabs can also be used as a vehicle for various aqueous solutions.
