- An absorbable, hemostatic gauze, consisting of 6mm × 8mm plugs, primarily used in oral surgery and tooth extraction
Uses
- Dry Socket Management:
- Placed directly into tooth extraction sites to treat or drastically reduce the incidence of alveolar osteitis (dry socket)
- Bleeding Control:
- Acts instantly to control local capillary bleeding during dental procedures, oral trauma, biopsies, and periodontal surgery
- Wound Protection:
- Serves as a temporary protective barrier for operative wounds, post-operative sites, traumatic dental injuries, and graft donor areas
- Sinus Repair:
- Often utilized by dental professionals for minor sinus perforation repairs
Features
- Composition:
- Made entirely of highly purified, biocompatible oxidized regenerated cellulose with zero chemical additives
- Material Reaction:
- Upon contact with blood or moist oral mucosa, the plug expands and transforms into a sticky, gelatinous matrix
- Resorbable:
- Completely absorbed by the body naturally within a few days to two weeks
- Hemostatic Action:
- Rapidly absorbs blood, expands, and transforms into a sticky gel that adheres to moist mucosa
- Safety Profile:
- Non-allergenic, non-pyrogenic, and non-immunogenic
- Size Specifications:
- Individual plugs measure 5mm × 7mm, specifically designed to fit standard tooth sockets seamlessly
Benefits
- Pain Reduction:
- Adheres securely to the moist tissue, creating a physical shield that protects exposed nerve endings from food particles, air, and fluid irritation
- Accelerated Clot Stabilization:
- Forms a safe, gelatinous scaffold within the extraction socket, facilitating natural coagulation and stabilizing the blood clot
- Convenient & Economical:
- Easy to handle, adheres easily to wet tissue, and doesn't require surgical removal when used in non-infected sites
