DENTOSPON: Absorbable haemostatic/hemostatic gelatin sponge with colloidal silver

DENTOSPON : Absorbable haemostatic gelatin sponge with colloidal silver

• Quick haemostasis
• Stabilizes the blood coagulum
• Smooth and complete resorption
• Effective against a wide range of bacteria • Long lasting depot effect

With DENTOSPON
• 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 which release 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.
The particular property of colloidal silver – its long lasting depot effect

Composition :

One DENTOSPON gelatine sponge (14 × 7 × 7 mm) contains:
Hardened gelatine Ph. Eur. 9.5 mg Colloid silver Ph. Eur. 0.5 mg

Haemostasis and prevention of post operative bleeding with Gelatine

The evenly porous foam structure absorbs blood several times of its own weight, 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.

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.
