- A sterile, resorbable wound dressing designed for soft tissue management in oral surgery, measuring 25mm x 75mm x 1mm, making it ideal for covering broad surface areas like donor sites or long incision lines
Uses
- Schneiderian Membrane Repair:
- Used to patch small perforations in the sinus lining during sinus lift procedures
- Soft Tissue Donor Sites:
- Protects the palate or other areas where tissue has been harvested for grafting
- Large Surgical Wounds:
- Covers suture lines, periodontal surgical wounds, and mucosal defects to prevent irritation
- Graft Stabilization:
- Helps prevent the migration of bone graft material in ridge defects or socket grafting
- Minor Oral Injuries:
- Effective for managing burns, oral ulcers, and denture sores
Features
- Material:
- Derived from highly purified bovine dermis tissue
- Pliable Handling:
- Becomes soft and conformable when hydrated, allowing it to adhere easily to moist oral tissues
- High Porosity:
- Features a structure with over 90% open pores, which facilitates cellular ingrowth and nutrient exchange
- Rapid Resorption:
- Typically resorbs within 30 days, though some sources indicate basic wound stabilization can occur in as little as 10–14 days
Benefits
- Clot Stabilization:
- Naturally induces platelet aggregation, which helps form and stabilize the initial blood clot for faster healing
- Versatile Sizing:
- The 75mm length is ample for most oral procedures and can be easily trimmed with scissors to fit unique defect shapes
- Barrier Protection:
- Protects delicate new tissue and bone grafts from mechanical trauma (like food) and bacterial infiltration
- Hemostatic Effect:
- Assists in controlling minor bleeding at the surgical site
