Zimmer Dental Inc., a provider of dental oral rehabilitation products and a subsidiary of Zimmer Holdings, has announced the availability of the HemCon Dental Dressing.
The product is a wound dressing material that utilizes a propriety technology to effectively seal the wound and minimize pain in various surgical procedures. This culminating in a more positive experience for clinicians and patients. HemCon Bandages have been a choice for the U.S. Armed Forces in battlefield wound care since 2003.
Designed to become sticky when placed in contact with blood, the HemCon Dental Dressing immediately seals and protects the wound while simultaneously relieving pain.
Safe, sterile, and easy-to-use, the dressing eliminates the need for traditional sutures in a number of common dental applications. This includes tooth extractions, donor site soft tissue grafts, biopsies, maxillofacial trauma, and surgical flap procedures to expediently stabilize the blood clot and dissolve it over time.
The HemCon Dental Dressing, manufactured by HemCon Medical Technologies and exclusively distributed by Zimmer Dental, is made from chitosan--a biocompatible polysaccharide derived from the exoskeleton of arctic shrimp. In addition, the product offering contains no human/animal clotting factors.
For more information, contact a Zimmer Dental sales consultant or customer service at (800) 854-7019, (760) 929-4300 (outside the U.S.), or visit Zimmer Dental.
