Sponge hemostatic agent Dentospon®

dental surgery

Quick haemostasis. Stabilizes the blood coagulum. Smooth and complete resorption. Effective against a wide range of bacteria. Long lasting depot effect. There are no complications in the healing process The wound does not have to be reopened Time is saved After extractions and other surgical treatment complications often occur, particularly due to bacterial infection. DENTOSPON® provides the dentist with an effective, biocompatible medical device for reliable post extraction treatment. DENTOSPON® has the great advantage that it is both haemostatic and bactericidal. DENTOSPON® is made of foam gelatine and finely dispersed (colloidal) silver. Silver forms silver ions in moist conditions. Even small quantities of these ions are antimicrobial, without developping resistance. DENTOSPON® is effective against all micro-organisms which are found in the oral cavity, particularly against gram-negative organisms. It has been found to be very effective against bacteria which are resistant to antibiotics. The finely dispersed colloidal silver provides a large, active surface for the continuous release of silver ions. As silver does not dissolve easily it is not washed out of the gelatine sponge, but is continually released as the sponge is resorbed. This gives DENTOSPON® a depot effect – the product has an antimicrobial effect throughout the resorption process. Further medications are not required therefore treatment with DENTOSPON® is time saving and very compatible for the patient.
