Description

The Sponge Dental Pack Pressure is an innovative solution designed for effective management of post-operative bleeding in dental procedures. This bioabsorbable dental sponge is specifically crafted to control bleeding following oral surgeries, such as tooth extractions, by promoting blood clotting at the wound site. Its unique design helps isolate the wound from saliva, supporting both coagulation and healing.

Key Features

• Absorbent Core: The sponge features an absorbent core made from materials like gauze and cotton, potentially enhanced with a hemostatic agent such as oxidized cellulose or gelatin. This core is constructed in layers or rolls to improve capillary action and absorption.

• Impervious Coating: A major portion of the core is covered with a soft, flexible, non-absorbent coating. This coating, made from materials like polyethylene or polyvinylchloride, includes openings to allow fluid entry while preventing saliva contact, thus retaining blood within the sponge.

Shape and Design

Available in various shapes, including spherical, rectangular, and cylindrical forms, the sponge may feature tabs or loops for easier handling. Some designs incorporate air passage channels to facilitate breathing or suction during use.

Material Properties

Constructed from bioabsorbable materials such as gelatin and collagen, the sponge boasts a fine-pore, open-cell structure for rapid blood uptake. It is crosslinked with minimal formaldehyde to ensure structural stability while reducing allergenic risks. The sponge is sterile and pyrogen-free, designed to be absorbed by the body within approximately 21 days, minimizing infection risk.

Manufacturing Excellence

The manufacturing process involves foaming a bioabsorbable material solution under pressure, followed by drying. This allows for the inclusion of pharmaceutical agents if needed, ensuring the product's reproducibility, sterility, and consistent pore structure.

Intended Use

Ideal for dental professionals, the sponge is placed over extraction sites or oral wounds to absorb blood and encourage clot formation. It is suitable for various dental procedures, including single or multiple tooth extractions and full-jaw applications. The product serves as a tamponade or cavity filler post-surgery, providing rapid bleeding control and wound protection.

Benefits

The Sponge Dental Pack Pressure significantly reduces the taste of blood and eases swallowing for patients, enhancing comfort during recovery. As a single-use, sterile product, it requires handling with sterile techniques. Once hemostasis is achieved, any excess sponge is removed, with the remainder naturally absorbed by the body, eliminating the need for removal and simplifying post-operative care.
