Dentospon®
Quick haemostasis.
Stabilizes the blood coagulum.
Smooth and complete resorption.
Effective against a wide range of bacteria.
Long lasting depot effect.
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.
The evenly porous foam structure absorbs its own weight in blood several times over, promotes thrombocyte aggregation due to the large surface and fills the wound cavity. The plug thus formed has a constant volume, fits snugly and stabilises blood coagulum. This prevents the formation of fissures and secondary cavities which, without DENTOSPON®, could form by contraction of the blood coagulum and trigger infection due to the invasion of contaminated saliva.
DENTOSPON® remains in the alveolus and is completely resorbed within 4 weeks. DENTOSPON® is made from gelatine of pharmaceutical quality and from colloidal silver. Quality control at all stages: raw material, production, sterilisation and the finished product, guarantees uniform high quality and effectiveness. DENTOSPON® does not contain any colouring agents. The brown colour is due to the colloidal silver.
