Randomized Controlled Trial
An evaluation of Merocel and Series 5000 nasal packs in patients following nasal surgery: a prospective randomised trial.
The primary objective of this study was to compare postoperative pain levels between Merocel and Series 5000 nasal packs. ⋯ Both the Merocel and Series 5000 packs are effective packs regarding haemostasis and have equivalent pain levels while in situ. However, the Series 5000 pack was significantly less painful on removal of the pack.
