- A sterile, resorbable wound dressing designed for managing oral wounds and stabilizing surgical sites, measuring 20mm x 40mm with a 3mm thickness, this "foam" or "patch" format provides a thicker, more cushioned barrier than collagen tape, making it ideal for protecting deeper tissue defects or heavily exudating areas
Uses
- Deep Extraction Sockets:
- Used when a thicker volume is needed to stabilize a large blood clot or graft
- Suture Site Protection:
- Provides a protective cushion over incision lines to prevent irritation from food or tongue movement
- Periodontal Surgical Wounds:
- Acts as a scaffold for soft tissue healing in flap surgeries or gum treatments
- Soft Tissue Injuries:
- Effective for managing denture sores, oral ulcers, and minor oral burns
- Biopsy Site Management:
- Placed over harvested areas to protect the underlying delicate tissue as it regenerates
Features
- Absorbent Matrix:
- Engineered from highly purified bovine dermis collagen
- Porous Structure:
- Features over 90% open pores, facilitating rapid fluid absorption and cellular infiltration
- 3mm Thickness:
- Provides a significant mechanical barrier and "cushion" compared to the thinner 1mm tape variant
- Fully Resorbable:
- Naturally breaks down and is absorbed by the body, typically within 30 days, removing the need for a follow-up removal procedure
Benefits
- Superior Clot Stabilization:
- The high surface area of the foam induces platelet aggregation, which is critical for forming a stable foundation for new tissue
- Tissue Protection:
- Guards delicate new granulating tissue from mechanical trauma, leading to improved patient comfort during the healing phase
- Aids Wound Healing:
- By maintaining a moist environment and providing a biological scaffold, it accelerates the natural closure of oral wounds
- Easy Handling:
- The foam is soft and conformable once hydrated, allowing it to stay in place without always requiring intensive suturing
