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 approx. 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® is ideal for diverse ophthalmic surgical procedures including LASIK. Sugi® outcompetes comparable materials in fluid wicking.
