- A sterile, resorbable dental wound dressing engineered from highly purified, non-crosslinked Type I bovine Achilles tendon collagen serves as a functional alternative to industry standards like HeliPlug® and CollaPlug® and is designed to physically protect surgical sites, control bleeding, and accelerate early osseous healing
Uses
- Extraction Socket Preservation:
- Placed directly into standard or large extraction sockets to protect the site and stop localized bleeding
- Graft Containment:
- Functioning as a protective barrier on top of granular synthetic bone grafts (like Unigraft) to prevent particle washout
- Biopsy & Donor Sites:
- Packing mucosal donor sites or palatal wounds following connective tissue harvesting to accelerate tissue closure
- Minor Oral Surgeries:
- Covering and sealing soft tissue wounds, flaps, or sinus floor tears during advanced dental implant procedures
Features
- Purified Bovine Achilles Tendon:
- Sourced from highly biocompatible, non-crosslinked type-1 collagen to offer clean cellular interaction without adverse immune responses
- Large Interconnected Pore Structure:
- Designed with macromolecular space formatting that absorbs wound exudates and blood rapidly, creating an optimal matrix for cell migration
- Highly Compressible & Malleable:
- Easily fits into irregular, deep osseous contours when dry and expands gently upon wetting to adapt securely to the cavity wall
- 4-Week Resorption Profile:
- Stays intact long enough to scaffold structural tissue formation before entirely resorbing over roughly 28 days
Benefits
- Rapid Hemostasis & Clot Stabilization:
- The collagen fibers physically bind with blood components to encourage rapid platelet aggregation. This controls minor bleeding and actively stabilizes the preliminary blood clot within the defect
- Lessen Post-Operative Pain:
- Clinical studies highlighted by the manufacturer show that packing sockets with pure Type I collagen significantly reduces the severity and duration of post-surgical pain, improving patient comfort
- Higher Bone Mineralization Density:
- According to localized research data, using this pure collagen structure contributes to a roughly 10% higher bone mineralization ratio within the extraction site over untreated controls
- Prevents Tissue Collapse:
- Effectively tents and maintains soft tissue structure over oral cavities, minimizing structural shrinkage of the surrounding architecture during the initial weeks of healing
