CSS Sterile Neurosurgical Patties

​At Chelmer Surgical Supply Ltd, we specialise in a single product – and we take great pride in doing it to the highest standard.
Our sterile neurosurgical patties are meticulously manufactured for the precise absorption of blood and exudates during surgical procedures, delivering consistent performance and reliability where it matters most.
 

Key Features:

  • Exceptional Absorbency:
    Designed to effectively manage blood and exudate, our patties support a clear and controlled surgical field, helping surgeons maintain optimal visibility throughout the procedure.

  • Non–Adherent Design:
    Soft, lint–free and carefully engineered to minimise adhesion to delicate tissue surfaces, reducing the risk of trauma on removal.

  • Radiopaque Safety:
    All patties are embedded with an X–ray detectable thread to ensure full visibility under imaging, supporting robust surgical safety protocols.

  • Multi–Specialty Use:
    While originally developed for neurosurgical applications, CSS patties are also widely used in ENT, ophthalmic and orthopaedic procedures – trusted across a range of surgical disciplines.
     

Manufacturing Excellence:

Produced exclusively in our purpose–built cleanroom facility in Essex, UK, all patties are manufactured under ISO 13485:2016 and UK MDR 2002 requirements. Every critical step is carried out by fully trained personnel under validated conditions.
