DENTOSPON: Absorbable haemostatic/hemostatic gelatin sponge with colloidal silver

DENTOSPON : Absorbable haemostatic gelatin sponge with colloidal silver

Made up of foam gelatin and finely dispersed (colloidal) silver.
Silver forms silver ions in moist conditions. Even small quantities of these ions are antimicrobial, without developing resistance.
Effective, biocompatible medical device for reliable post extraction treatment.
Both haemostatic and bactericidal.

HOW to use

DENTOSPON® is supplied sterilised and for use. The dry sponge is immediately placed in the fresh, blood-filled wound cavity and should be allowed to absorb as much blood as possible. The size of the sponge can be adjusted to fit the wound cavity.
The sponge must not protrude over the inner gingival margin, so as not to adversely affect the desired epithelisation.
Care must be taken that the sponge is not compressed, as this can destroy its structure and hinder absorption.

CHARACTERISTICS:

-Smooth & complete resorption
-Effective against a wide range of bacteria
-Supports stabilization of the blood clot
-Complication-free healing
-Extended depot effect for lasting results

HOW it Works?

Placing DENTOSPON® in the wound
Sponge absorbs blood (40-45 times its own weight without swelling)
Aggregation of Thrombocytes (Structure of sponge facilitates thrombocyte aggregation)
Stabilises blood coagulum (Prevents contraction of coagulum, no secondary cavities/fissures form)
Long lasting antimicrobial effect (Silver ions are released throughout resorption. These ions are effective against a wide range of microorganisms)
Complete resorption (within
WHERE to use 

i) Treatment of
Alveoli and wound cavities, e.g. after
-Extractions
-Apical amputations
-Maxillary sinus perforation
-Other surgical treatments (removal of tumours or
retained teeth)

Prophylaxis of
-Secondary cavity formation
-Wound infections
-Secondary haemorrhage prophylaxis

ii) It can also be used as a dressing after gingivectomy and in periodontopathies.
