The Clinical Standard for Epistaxis and Post-Op Care The Merocel Nasal Pack is a preferred choice for ENT surgeons worldwide. Unlike conventional ribbon gauze, this PVA nasal sponge is compressed for easy insertion and expands to the exact contour of the nasal cavity once moistened with saline or blood. This ensures total contact for tamponade and hemostasis.
\nOptimized for Patient Safety Nasal packing can be uncomfortable, but the Merocel Dressing is designed with soft round edges to reduce friction during insertion. Its high-porosity structure allows for stable stenting of the nasal structures, preventing adhesions and synechiae formation during the critical first 48 hours of healing.
\nIndications for Use:

Epistaxis Control: Rapidly stops anterior and posterior nosebleeds where direct pressure has failed.
\n \n - \n
Post-Surgical Support: Essential for maintaining septal alignment and controlling oozing after FESS (Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery) or turbinate surgery.

Trauma Management: Provides immediate internal support for nasal fractures.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Merocel PVA nasal dressing used for?
Merocel polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) nasal dressings are absorbent, non-adherent nasal packs used after nasal surgery (septoplasty, FESS, turbinate reduction) and for epistaxis management. They expand on contact with blood or saline to provide gentle but effective tamponade.
What does "without thread" mean in Merocel nasal packs?
Merocel packs come in two versions — with a retrieval thread (suture) and without. Thread versions allow easier extraction by pulling. Without-thread packs are removed with nasal forceps (Tilley or Weil-Blakesley) at the post-operative appointment — preferred by some surgeons as the thread doesn't hang from the nostril and reduce the risk of accidental pull-out.
What size is the Netcare Merocel nasal dressing?
Available in 8cm and 10cm lengths to suit different nasal cavity depths. Confirm with the operating surgeon which size is required for the intended procedure.
How long is a Merocel nasal pack left in place after surgery?
Typically 24–48 hours post-surgery for routine septoplasty and FESS. Some surgeons leave packs for up to 72 hours. Packs are removed in the clinic under direct visualization; pre-soaking with saline facilitates atraumatic removal.
