HemCon Medical Technologies Dental Dressing - Dental Dressing, 10 mm x 12 mm - 1050

HemCon Dental Dressings work by becoming mildly adherent when in contact with the oral wound environment. This adhesive-like action facilitates positioning on the oral wound and provides a physical protective barrier. HemCon products are fabricated from chitosan, a naturally occurring, bio-compatible polysaccharide. Because chitosan has a positive charge, it attracts red blood cells, which have a negative charge. The red blood cells create a physical barrier over the wound as they are drawn into the dressing.
