- A resorbable, hemostatic matrix used to manage oral wounds and support post-extraction healing
Uses
- Wound Protection:
- Temporarily covers and protects surgical wounds, donor tissue sites, and traumatic injuries within the oral cavity
- Dry Socket Management:
- Placed directly into fresh extraction sockets to prevent or treat alveolar osteitis (dry socket)
- Hemostasis (Bleeding Control):
- Quickly controls capillary or minor arterial bleeding from tooth extractions, biopsies, or periodontal surgeries
- Sinus Perforation Repair:
- Used as a flexible barrier matrix to aid in the surgical closure of minor sinus perforations
Features
- Material Composition:
- Made entirely of highly purified, biocompatible oxidized regenerated cellulose with no added chemicals or proteins
- 15mm × 15mm Dimensions:
- Formatted as flat, square sheets, which offers a broad coverage area, making it ideal for larger surgical fields, multi-root sockets, or grafting sites
- Gelatinous Matrix Transformation:
- Upon contact with blood or moist oral mucosa, the dry sheet absorbs fluid and turns into a cohesive, sticky gel scaffold
- Biocompatible Design:
- Non-allergenic, non-pyrogenic, and non-immunogenic, minimizing foreign-body tissue reactions
Benefits
- Fully Bioresorbable:
- Completely dissolves naturally in the mouth within 3 to 7 days (up to 2 weeks maximum), eliminating the discomfort of an additional surgical removal step
- Promotes Clot Stability:
- The expanding gel matrix forms an immediate structural scaffold that captures blood extrude, encouraging rapid, stable clot formation
- No Suturing Required:
- In conical extraction sockets or minor wounds, it adheres on its own to wet tissue, saving valuable chair time for the surgeon
- Effective Pain Relief:
- By sealing the exposed oral wound, it acts as a physical barrier shielding nerve endings from air, food particles, and fluids
- Ideal for High-Risk Patients:
- Highly beneficial for routine use or for problematic patients prone to heavy bleeding, such as smokers or those on blood thinners
