COTTONOID Meaning and Definition

1. Cottonoid is a term that refers to a specialized medical product commonly used in surgical procedures and wound care. It is a type of absorbable surgical sponge or packing material that is made from cotton fibers or cellulose-based material.

   The cottonoid sponge is designed to possess high absorbency, which allows it to effectively absorb fluids and blood from a surgical site or wound. It also possesses advantageous moisture retention properties, making it ideal for creating a moist environment that promotes wound healing.

   Cottonoids are available in various forms, such as pads, strips, or balls, and are typically supplied sterile to prevent infection. They are commonly used during surgeries to control bleeding and provide gentle pressure to aid in the clotting process. Additionally, cottonoids may be used for wound packing purposes, helping to fill and support deep or irregularly shaped wounds.

   These surgical sponges are usually bioresorbable, meaning they are designed to gradually break down and be absorbed by the body over time. This characteristic minimizes the need for their removal after use and reduces the risk of foreign body reactions or infections.

   The term "cottonoid" is often used in medical contexts when referring to this specific type of absorbable cotton-based surgical sponge or packing material, distinguishing it from other types of sponges or dressings.

2. Trade name of a preparation of absorbent cotton for surgical use.
