Summary

Throat packs are commonly used in many surgical procedures involving the oral cavity and pharynx, primarily to prevent blood, saliva, and other debris from entering the lower respiratory tract, thereby maintaining a clear airway and reducing the risk of aspiration and respiratory complications. Traditionally, these packs are moistened with saline or used in a dry state, with the choice often depending on the surgeon's preference and specific surgical requirements. However, despite their widespread usage, the exploration of alternative substances to moisten throat packs, particularly those with additional therapeutic benefits, remains limited in medical research. This pilot study introduces Gengigel spray as an innovative alternative to saline for moistening throat packs. Gengigel, a hyaluronic acid (HA)-based product, is known for its healing properties and anti-inflammatory effects, which are beneficial in oral care. Gengigel provides a non-anesthetic approach that promotes tissue repair and reduces inflammation. This makes it particularly advantageous in the context of surgical procedures where reducing postoperative inflammation and promoting mucosal healing are crucial.
