- A sterile, plant-based, oxidized regenerated cellulose dressing that rapidly turns into a viscous gel upon contact with blood, designed to quickly stop bleeding, seal dental extraction sites, fill voids, and promote healing while providing antibacterial protection and reducing patient discomfort
Uses
- Dental Extractions:
- Specifically designed for tooth extraction sites, including wisdom teeth
- Surgical Procedures:
- Ideal for oral surgeries, including reconstructive surgeries and dental implants
- Hemostasis:
- Acts as a specialized dressing to control minor to moderate bleeding
Features
- Rapid Gel Transformation:
- Turns into a viscous, transparent gel within 15-20 seconds of blood contact to seal capillaries
- Soluble Material:
- Composed of oxidized, plant-based regenerated cellulose
- Bacteriostatic Properties:
- Helps reduce the risk of infection
- Easy Application:
- Packaged in 1.9 cm (0.75" x 0.75") squares that can be folded or cut to fit the socket
- Sterile & Pre-packaged:
- Individually wrapped for ease of use in clinical settings
Benefits
- Rapid Bleeding Control:
- Activates the clotting system to stop bleeding faster than traditional methods
- Prevents Dry Socket:
- Seals the socket and fills voids, reducing the incidence of alveolar osteitis
- Comfort & Protection:
- Minimizes patient discomfort and protects the wound site
- Effective on Anticoagulants:
- Highly effective in stopping bleeding, even in patients on blood thinners
- Cost-Effective:
- Often reduces the need for sutures or additional dressing materials
Application Process
- Bioviva should be applied dry to the extraction site using dry forceps, as it may stick to wet instruments. The geled material does not require removal, as it is soluble
